Juventus could be set to ask Chelsea for the inclusion of Alvaro Morata in their pursuit of Gonzalo Higuain this summer, according to Italian reports.
The Old Lady have been consistently linked with a move for Morata in recent months and with the Blues closing in on their star striker Higuain, Corriere dello Sport (via Calciomercato) indicate that Juve could look to demand the Spanish forward as a sweetener in any deal.
With the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as Chelsea’s new manager seemingly imminent, Higuain is understood to be a top target for the club.
Juventus are believed to be open to selling their star forward despite his impressive performances throughout last season. This is largely down to the recent arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in a deal worth £99.2 million.
It’s shaping up to be a summer of upheaval at Stamford Bridge, and it seems there could be a shakeup in Chelsea’s attacking options as well.
