Juventus are lining up a summer swoop for Chelsea's attacking midfielder Eden Hazard following the Belgium international's difficult season at Stamford Bridge.
Italian daily Tuttosport explains that the current Serie A leaders have identified Hazard as their main target once the season ends, amid reports the 25-year-old is ready to seek pastures new once the season is over.
It also claims that Juve will target Brazil duo Oscar and Willian because Juan Cuadrado, who is currently on loan at the club from Chelsea, will be asked to return to Stamford Bridge for next season if, as expected, Antonio Conte becomes manager of the club.
Tuttosport also reports that Conte, who managed Juventus from 2011 until 2014 before taking the Italy job, could also target defender Leonardo Bonucci and striker Simone Zaza.
Should Conte take over at Chelsea following Italy's campaign at Euro 2016, he will be tasked with rejuvenating a squad that is currently languishing 10th in the Premier League, destined to surrender last season's title crown to either Leicester or Tottenham.
Their lack of form has been embodied by Hazard, who has failed to replicate the form which led Chelsea to the title in 2014-15.
