Juventus officials were in London recently to explore the possibility of signing Chelsea midfielder Oscar this summer.
The Italian champions’ interest in Oscar is not new and the Brazilian has been on their radar for a number of months now.

However, Juventus have not lost hope and are still exploring possibilities of striking a deal with Chelsea for the 23-year-old Brazilian international.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Juventus officials were in London recently and did enquire about the Brazilian midfielder again with the Blues.

However, Juventus are expected to probe Chelsea again for the 23-year-old once the transfer window opens in June.
