Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has sparked speculation that he could make an approach for Oscar this summer, having admitted that he is a fan of the Chelsea midfielder.
The Brazilian ace has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Italian giants, but the player's representative Kia Joorabchian categorically stated that any switch was off the cards.
However, after losing both Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo already during the off-season, Allegri admits that he may now have to delve into the transfer market.
"Without Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo, Juve will have to change and experiment new solutions," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Express. "I'd like someone able to invent football without being banal.
"I like Isco of Real Madrid and the Brazilian Oscar. Among the Italians, I'd say Domenico Berardi and Federico Bernardeschi."
Oscar, who made 41 appearances for Chelsea last season, is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2019.
