Ever since Juventus were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, a lot has been said about Cristiano Ronaldo's future. Several reports have suggested that the Portuguese legend is looking to leave the club in the summer with moves to his former club both Real Madrid and Manchester United being mooted.

Zinedine Zidane added fuel to the fire recently by saying that rumours linking Ronaldo to Real Madrid might be true. Now, as per reports, Juventus are eyeing Moise Kean as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo if he chooses to leave.

Kean left Juventus in 2019 to join Everton on a deal worth €27.5 million. Though he struggled at Everton, he has rejuvenated his career at Paris Saint-Germain where he is on loan for the season.

According to Calciomercato (via The Express), Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has made Paulo Dybala his top transfer target. The report claims that Chelsea are willing to let German striker Timo Werner leave this summer.

Tuchel wants to sign Dybala and is aware that he will need to let one of his top stars leave in order to secure the Argentine's signing. The players that Chelsea are likely to offer are Jorginho, Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic. Juventus can take their pick from these three.

Pulisic has reportedly grown frustrated with a lack of game time under Thomas Tuchel but the manager dismissed talks of the USA international leaving. Tuchel said:

"We have so many games and he is in my plans. He is an important player and has the potential to be decisive for us off the bench.
"His job is to be ready like everybody else and when the moment comes, he has to be ready. This is what you sign up for at a club like Chelsea. There is no difference between Christian or anybody else.
"When you sign and play for Chelsea, it is part of the job description of a player to be impatient and patient at the same time.
"Impatient because all of my players are competitors and want to play every single minute, and this is what they all show every day, the hunger and the desire. This is what Christian shows."
