Juventus could look to sign Chelsea midfielder Ramires this summe, depending on the futures of two key players, FootballDirectNews.com understands.
The Italian giants face the possible departures of in-demand midfield duo Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba, who have gained attention from the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain after establishing themselves as one of the finest partnerships in the world at the moment. With Pogba in particular expected to command a hefty transfer fee, Juventus may have plenty to spend on bringing in new faces to replace the players, and Ramires appears to be top of Antonio Conte’s list of targets.
The Brazilian has been a key player for Chelsea since joining the club in 2010, making nearly 200 appearances for their first-team and earning a reputation for scoring important goals. With a combination of great work ethic in his defensive duties and technique in attack, Ramires could be an ideal player to replace the all-round qualities of Vidal and Pogba, though the Blues will understandably be reluctant to let him leave Stamford Bridge. We think Juventus might come in for Ramires if Vidal and Pogba leave, a Chelsea insider explained. “I’m sure we won’t be letting him go easily, but they might have a lot to spend if they sell both players.
