Juventus have declared their intention of signing the Chelsea star Oscar after sending scouts to track the developments of the player in Brazil’s International clash with Chile at Emirates Stadium. Juventus want to add Oscar to their ranks for an extra dose of flair from next season.
It has been shaky few months for Chelsea’s Brazilian ace Oscar who has struggled to have any positive impact on Chelsea’s front play. Playing behind Diego Costa, Oscar has the biggest responsibility of feeding balls to the front men but he has failed miserably in last 2 months.
Oscar’s position at Chelsea has come under serious threat after Jose Mourinho has opted to play Cesc Fabregas in the #10 role and put Oscar on bench for few games. Chelsea want to grow as the European superpower in next 1-2 season and it could mean the exit of Oscar to allow the likes of Gareth Bale and Kevin De Bruyne joining the London based club.
Chelsea have priced Oscar in region of £30 million and a summer sale could trigger Chelsea’s much talked about move for Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale. It is being understood that Chelsea are keen to pay the £75 million release clause in Bale’s contract and offer him a massive £300,000-a-week wage package.
It all would be on the cards when Juventus come up with their fancied offer for Oscar and sign him during the next transfer window. Juventus play with a fluid system up front which would allow someone like Oscar to have more of a say in the games than his recent performances for Chelsea.
