Juventus are interested in signing Chelsea winger Willian.

The 26-year-old Brazilian has established himself as one of the Blues’ key players since his £32million arrival from Anzhi Makhachkala two years ago.

But Willian is among several players now being eyed by Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri as he bids to keep the Italian champions at the top of Serie A for a FIFTH season running.

Chelsea retain an interest in highly-prized Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and are aware of the Turin giants’ interest in their stars.

Allegri has already made clear his admiration for Willian’s midfield colleague and countryman Oscar on a number of occasions this summer.

But former Internacional star Oscar’s representatives have made it clear the 23-year-old has no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge.

Juve have also expressed an interest in Chelsea's Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah, following his impressive loan spell in Italy with Fiorentina over the second half of last season.

Salah, however, is expected to return to the Florence club after being offered a lucrative deal to do so.

Meanwhile, the agent of Stuttgart defender Antonio Rudiger has claimed the 22-year-old has been targeted by Chelsea.

The Blues are looking for another centre-back and while they are still admirers of Everton youngster John Stones they have rejected the chance to take Atletico Madrid’s Toby Alderweireld, who impressed on loan at Southampton last season.

Rudiger’s agent, Sahr Senesie, suggested the Germany international - also linked with Chelsea and West Ham last summer - has again come into the Premier League champions’ thinking.

He said: “I know of interest from [German side] Wolfsburg and Chelsea.”

But Robin Dutt, Stuttgart’s director of sport has insisted, “there will be no bargain buys at VfB [Stuttgart]. We are under no pressure to sell anybody.”
