Juventus want Alexis Sanchez

Italian giants Juventus are readying January bid for Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, according to Marca.

Despite having five quality strikers at his disposal, Antonio Conte is eager to sign a world-class centre forward in January after missing out on a number of players in the summer.

Marca understands that the Bianconeri are ready to bid for Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez.

Juventus have been keen on the Chilean ever since he played for Udinese, but ultimately missed out on the player as he opted to join Barcelona.

They attempted to sign the player last summer, but the Catalans were reluctant to sell after he impressed in his first season at the club.

However, Sanchez’s position at Camp Nou as changed a great deal over the last few months, with the player now falling behind David Villa and Pedro in the pecking order.

That could see Barcelona officials decide to cash in on the 23-year-old in January so as to raise money for a new assault on Neymar.
