Claudio Marchisio’s agent has said that the Juventus midfielder is high on the list of Premier League club’s summer wishlists.
The Italian international has been in superb form over the past couple of seasons but will see his current contract expire next summer, leaving his future in doubt at the Turin based club.
His father, Stefano, has confirmed that he would be interested in a move to England, where it is understood that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and Man United boss Louis van Gaal are extremely keen.
His representative told The Mirror: “In my view, the club has other priorities and therefore hasn’t even considered Claudio’s situation, as he has a contract until 2016.
“Has there been other contact? I did receive a few phone calls, above all from top Premier League clubs. Of course we can only be flattered and this underlines Claudio’s excellent season so far.
“Obviously, his preference remains Juventus. He was born and raised at Juventus, so if things go normally, negotiations for a renewal should be simple. Having said that, it takes two to form a marriage.”
