Premier League side Liverpool and Serie A giants Juventus are keeping tabs on Chelsea Brazilian midfielder Oscar, as per Daily Mail.
Juventus’ scouts were present in an international game between France and Brazil. The 23-year-old scored the goal in a 3 – 1 win over France in Paris.
However, he is an important player for Chelsea but boss Jose Mourinho is planning to sell him for 25 million pound.
Oscar is currently under a contract until 2019 with the London side and the reports claim that Blues have no plans to offer him an improved deal in the near future.
Blues summer signing Cesc Fabregas has taken his attacking role at Chelsea this term. While Willian and Eden Hazard are Mourinho’s preferred wingers.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keeping close tabs on his situation. The Reds will be in need of a midfielder as Steven Gerrard will leave for Major Soccer League outfit LA Galaxy at the end of the season.
