Juventus Make Approach For Chelsea Star

As long as they fork out £30m...

Serie A champions Juventus have been told that they must pay in excess of £30m if they want to lure Oscar away from Stamford Bridge, according to reports. The Italian giants have been strongly linked with Chelsea's Brazilian playmaker over recent weeks and will be looking to boost their midfield with Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo expected to depart Turin this summer. The 23-year-old hasn't fulfilled the potential that came with his £25m move from Internacional in 2012, having scored only six goals during their 2014/15 title winning season.
The London Evening Standard claim Blues boss Jose Mourinho insists the 45-time-capped international isn't for sale, but the club may be tempted if they make a profit with Juventus the most likely candidates to fork-up. The highly-rated youngster made his Champions League debut for Chelsea in 2012 against last season's runners up, and bagged a brace with the second curling past Gianluigi Buffon from long range, earning him the man of the match award. Mourinho has not been shy of selling big name players in recent years with the likes of Juan Mata, David Luis and Andre Shurrle moving on, and it looks like Oscar's time in the capital has come to an end. He may be followed by teammate and Egypt international Mohamed Salah who is also reported to be on Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri wishlist, having impressed on a loan spell with Fiorentina last term.
