Juventus are ready to make a £35m bid for Chelsea midfielder Oscar, according to Tuttomercato.

The Italian champions are keen to improve their midfield options ahead of the possible sale of Paul Pogba, who has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs.

Juve officials have sent feelers out to a number of potential replacements but it is now understood that Chelsea‘s Brazilian midfielder Oscar is top of their wishlist and seems to be a realistic target.

Officials from the Italian club were in attendance in midweek as Oscar represented Brazil against France.

The Brazil international joined Chelsea in 2012 and has made a big impact but his chances of starting in Jose Mourinho’s line-up have taken a dent after the January signing of Colombian Juan Cuadrado.

The 23-year-old, who has featured 43 times for his country is said to be keen on a summer move and would openly move to Italy, Spain or France, where Paris Saint Germain have been credited with interest.
