Juventus coach Massimiliano admits interest in Chelsea midfielder Oscar

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has talked up the qualities of Chelsea midfielder Oscar despite the Brazilian's agent recently confirming his client has no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.

Oscar has emerged as a transfer target for Juventus in recent weeks despite featuring regularly for Jose Mourinho's side last season.


The 23-year-old started the majority of games for the Premier League champions last term and, although he was often brought off late on, the Brazil international insisted in April he was "very happy" at Chelsea.

Oscar's agent Kia Joorabchian also refuted the notion the midfielder could leave the Blues for Juventus this summer, but Allegri has now admitted the Brazilian's style of play would be ideal for his team as the Serie A side look to strengthen this summer.
