According to the latest Juventus transfer news, a squad overhaul looks likely this summer and a host of Premier League clubs are waiting to discover if they could take advantage of any fire sale.
Juventus Transfer Exclusive
Juventus are contemplating a summer of change at the end of the season, which could include Samuel Iling-Junior, Federico Chiesa and Weston McKennie, while Adrien Rabiot could yet leave on a free transfer.
All four players will be touted around the Premier League and big clubs in England are on alert.
Iling-Junior is most likely to depart, with Brighton, Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham all expected to be in the running to sign him. The England under-21 international, who came through Chelsea’s youth ranks, is expected to leave for as little as £13million.
Chiesa’s situation is interesting, as he has not yet agreed a new contract in Turin and if that matter remains unresolved he could leave for around £35million.
He has one year left on his current deal, and Liverpool have shown interest in that situation previously. His services have been desirable in the past for a host of other clubs, and is another that could interest Tottenham, West Ham and Newcastle.
McKennie – who was on loan at Leeds United last season – has been one of Juve’s best players this season but could still be made available for transfer.
His fellow midfield teammate Rabiot could be the most high profile switch, as he currently looks set to leave on a free transfer and has been linked with Man United, Arsenal and Newcastle.
It is a strange time for the Italian giants, who were expected to challenge for the Serie A title this season but are currently clinging on to a place inside the top four to make sure they qualify for next season’s Champions League.
There was a glimmer of hope for their season on Tuesday night when they defeated Lazio in the first-leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri is fighting to remain at the club and his future is likely to have a knock on effect as to who leaves – though a current reading of the situation is that Iling-Junior will be heading to the Premier League either way.
