Juventus are eyeing Chelsea striker Timo Werner or Manchester United‘s Anthony Martial if they fail to seal a deal for top target Alvaro Morata.
The Serie A giants have identified the Spain international as the perfect fit to complete boss Massimiliano Allegri’s new-look front line alongside Dusan Vlahovic and Angel Di Maria.
The 29-year-old striker had a two-season spell from 2014-16 with Juve before Real Madrid activated their buy-back clause, but he then returned on a two-season loan from Atletico Madrid in 2020.

Morata has, however, returned to Atletico after the Italian side passed up on their £29.7million option to sign him permanently when his two-year loan expired in June, as they want to try and negotiate a lower fee, according to Sky Italy.
United forward Martial was of interest to Juve back in the January transfer window before he eventually joined Sevilla on loan.
The Frenchman has since returned to the Red Devils and made a positive impact in pre-season, which means United may now not want to sell the forward, who led the line alongside Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho on their pre-season tour.
Unsettled Chelsea striker Werner is attracting tentative interest from former club RB Leipzig, who received £53m for him when his release clause was met by the Blues two years ago.
