Italian giants Juventus have reportedly joined PSG in the race for Chelsea maestro Oscar, as they eye a big money move for the Brazilian in the summer.

The current Serie A league leaders reportedly sent scouts to watch the 22-year old in action in the mid-week UEFA Champions League clash against Galatasaray at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues bought the attacking midfielder for £25 million in 2012, and has since gone on to rack up 104 appearances for the club, scoring 21 goals in the process.

Rumours are rife that French billionaires PSG are going to test Chelsea’s resolve on holding on to their asset with a whopping £42 million bid at the end of the season.

However, Jose Mourinho could be a massive hurdle for any potential suitor as the Portuguese manager is a distinct admirer of the playmaker’s work ethic, and continues to see Oscar in his long term plans.
