Marco Asensio would provide a good variety to Juventus attack.
According to Football Espana, “Juventus are planning a move for Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio this summer and have already made contact, say reports in Italy. Asensio turns 23-year-old has previously been linked with a move to Inter and various reports have mentioned the Spain international could be set for a move away from Los Blancos. The forward did not start Saturday’s El Clasico defeat against Barcelona – the 17th time he has started on the bench this season, fuelling speculation of an exit. Turin-based Tuttosport claims Juve – who swooped for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer – have already made an enquiry for the in-demand Asensio.”
