Juventus are planning an audacious summer swoop for Chelsea playmaker Oscar, should Paul Pogba decide to leave Turin.
The Italian champions are aware of the speculation surrounding Pogba’s future at the club and though they want to hold on to the player, they do realise that they don’t have the financial muscle to fend off the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Therefore, the Bianconeri are already planning for life beyond the French international and have been scouring the market to find a suitable potential replacement for the midfielder.
According to Italian daily Tuttosport, the Juventus hierarchy have identified Chelsea playmaker Oscar as the man who has the talent to replace the 21-year-old French international at the club.
The 23-year-old is a crucial member of Jose Mourinho’s squad at Chelsea and the Portuguese is expected to knock back any offer for his Brazilian playmaker in the summer.

However, Juventus are working on trying to convince Oscar to agitate for a move to Italy and believe that with Pogba’s sale, they will be in a position to afford a transfer fee of around €40m for the Brazilian.
Though Oscar is believed to be well settled at Stamford Bridge, the Bianconeri are confident of changing his opinion about a transfer and luring him to Turin in the summer.
