OscarJuventus will reportedly continue their pursuit of expensive Chelsea star Oscar despite the high price tag placed on him by the English club.

The 23-year-old, whose current contract with the Blues is set to expire in June 2019, has been a target of multiple European teams for quite some time now, though the Bianconeri are seen as the side most interested in landing him this summer.

According to TuttoSport, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri will still attempt to bring the talented midfielder to Turin in the coming weeks even though the Old Lady may have to pay a total fee of around €60 million for the Brazilian international based on Chelsea’s demands.

Reports also suggest that the Old Lady could settle for Fluminense youngster Gerson, as he he would be much more affordable for the reigning Serie A champions to purchase, though the Italian giants may have to compete with Barcelona for his services.

Oscar scored six goals and provided eight assists in his 28 Premier League appearances last term.
