Juventus are reportedly interested in Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic, with the American international also on the radar for Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp a big fan of the winger.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri are ready to pluck many of Chelsea’s top players amid a takeover at the west London club, with Juventus predicting that the Premier League giants could lose numerous top players in the summer.

As per the report, Juventus are eyeing Jorginho as well as Hakim Ziyech, with Pulisic now also on the Serie A giants’ radar, with the 23-year-old’s future at Chelsea looking questionable under Thomas Tuchel.

The forward, who joined Chelsea for a reported £58m, has been in and out of the starting XI under the German coach and has struggled for form playing out of position, and according to CalcioMercato, Liverpool will be open to reuniting Pulisic with Klopp on Merseyside.

The Reds boss is a huge fan of his former Dortmund star, with Klopp saying in 2018: “I like Christian. He’s a fantastic player, and it’s deserved people think highly of him in America. In Germany, it’s the same.”

Indeed, with Juventus now interested in Pulisic, Liverpool could face a struggle to sign the Chelsea superstar if the winger is allowed to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Yet given his lack of regular football, a move looks likely for the American superstar.

Juventus will be confident in beating Liverpool to Pulisic this summer

With Liverpool signing Luis Diaz in January, the need for a left-winger is virtually non-existent at Anfield, and this will give Juventus huge confidence in their attempt to sign Pulisic this summer.

After all, the Old Lady will be eager to pluck some of Chelsea’s fringe players if they do in fact have to sell, and Pulisic could be an incredible signing for Juventus and another member of their American contingent alongside star midfielder Weston McKennie.
