Juventus face competition from Premier League club Chelsea for the signature of Real Madrid midfielder Isco.
The La Liga giants sacked former Napoli coach Rafael Benitez and replaced him with former Juventus midfielder Zinedine Zidane on Monday afternoon, a move which could have repercussions in any deal for the 23-year-old.
According to CalcioMercato, the change of coach could scupper Massimiliano Allegri’s plans to add the creative playmaker to his squad during the January transfer window but will not deter the former AC Milan coach from trying to secure his signature.
Isco has made just nine league appearances for Los Blancos so far this season, with the lack of regular playing time frustrating the former Malaga player. Real Madrid face Roma in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 in February.
