Juventus join race for Bale

Italian daily Tuttosport has learned that Juventus are considering a summer move for Tottenham superstar Gareth Bale.

The 23-year-old has developed into one of Premier League’s best players and has scored no less than 16 goals in 24 league games this season.

Real Madrid and Inter have already been linked with the highly rated midfielder, but it appears Juventus are keen as well.

The Bianconeri boss Antonio Conte is a big fan of wide players and it was the 4-2-4 formation at Siena that helped him make a name for himself.

He would obviously be delighted to add a player like Bale to his ranks, but it is now up to general manager Beppe Marotta and sporting director Fabio Paratici to try and lure the Welshman to Turin.

Juventus are planning to splash the cash on a world-class striker in the summer transfer window, but they might just decide to invest a portion of their huge transfer kitty in Gareth Bale instead.
