Reports in Italy state that Juventus had a scout at Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Galatasaray to watch three potential targets.

Chelsea triumphed over Galatasaray 2-0 last night to book their place in the last eight of the Champions League and a Juventus scout was amongst the spectators.

The presence of a Bianconeri representative has caused frenzied speculation over the Turin side’s transfer goals for the summer.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Juventus scout was present to watch Oscar and Willian play for Chelsea but also took an interest in Didier Drogba who was returning to his former stomping ground.

Drogba has long been a target for Juventus and his contract comes up for renewal in the summer, making him the most viable objective of the three.

There have been rumours that Drogba will return to Chelsea where he is a club legend, but whether he would now fit in at Stamford Bridge is unclear.

Juventus also have a wealth of striking options but they are likely to clear the decks this summer by selling Fabio Quagliarella and Mirko Vucinic.

However, Drogba’s wage demands may well put him out of Juventus’ reach

Despite Sky Sport’s insistence that Juventus scout came away with a detailed report of Willian and Oscar’s performances, the Old Lady would be highly unlikely to be able to lure either away from West London.
