Juventus eye Lyon raid

Reigning Italian champions Juventus have set their sights on Lyon stars, Houssem Aouar and Memphis Depay as Andrea Pirlo tries to rebuild for the Old Lady.

Juventus have fallen off the pace in the Serie A and crashed out of the champions league after losing to Porto away and were edged out on away goals; a squad overhaul is imminent and they are now looking in the directions of Lyon who wouldn’t mind considering the financial challenges they currently face.

Aouar was an Arsenal target for the summer and Barcelona were close to signing Depay as well.

Fernandinho is a long standing servant whose contract expires this summer and would not be renewed as his demands are impossible for the Etihad landlords to accept considering his age and a need for the club to rebuild.
