After Juventus coach Antonio Conte, director general Giuseppe Marotta, and sporting director Fabio Paratici were spotted at Tuesday’s Champions League semifinal between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, speculation went rampant that the three were on a scouting mission for the summer transfer window.

The four players being looked at were Madrid’s Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain, and Angel Di Maria, and Dortmund winger Jakub Blaszczykowski.

Benzema and Higuain have been linked to Juventus in the past in their search for a top striker, however, rumours died down once the Bianconeri signed Fenando Llorente in January.

Corriere dello Sport reports that Di Maria is currently looking to leave Madrid, and with Juventus rumoured to be in the hunt for a winger, would make sense as a potential target, as would Blaszczykowski.

Higuain currently makes €4m per year, and Benzema makes €6m, the same amount as Juve’s highest earner Gianluigi Buffon.

Juventus are also rumoured to be interested in the services of Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben.
