In the past couple of weeks, almost all major newspapers in Italy published that Chelsea FC midfielder Oscar was the primary target of Juventus manager Masimilliano Allegri for this summer transfer window.

Chlesea FC midfielder Oscar was prolific midfielder who has a superb dribbling and playmaking abilities that draw comparison to Arsenal FC Mesut Özil and former Brazilian midfielder Kaká. However, Juventus' pursuit of the 23-year old Brazilian attacking midfielder won't be easy as he has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Serie A Champions Juventus are preparing to pay €25m for the Brazilian midfielder Oscar, while the Blue's had set a price between €30 to 40 million to let him go at Stamford Bridge. Allegri is believed to b a huge fan of the Brazilian midfielder and he wants him to play the no.10 for Juventus next season.

Football analyst Juventus would be able to push through the deal in acquiring Oscar, once they sell their rights on Paul Pogba, who has been targeted by almost all the huge clubs in Europe this summer transfer window.

Real Madrid CF is reportedly eager to sign the French international as Pogba's agent Mino Raiola already met with Club president Florentino Perez and they have discussed about a possible transfer move at Bernebau this summer, according to the Catalan newspaper via Daily Mail.

Juventus midfielder has a transfer fee of €80-€90 million price tag. Despite a strong interest from the Premier League giants Manchester United, Chelsea FC and Manchester City, and two Spanish giants Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona, not even a single club has come forward with a formal offer as they are not willing to pay that kind of amount for the 22-year-old Juventus midfielder at the moment.

Red Devils manager Louis Van Gaal considers acquiring Pogba as one of his top priorities this summer, though the Frenchman wants to play in La Liga rather than in England.  Chelsea FC might not pay his huge transfer fee, while his €12m per year wage demand is also a big hindrance to close the deal. TMW claimed that Chelsea FC is preparing to include Oscar in a cash plus player swap deal to sign the French international.
