Allegri confirms Isco & Oscar interest

The head coach of the beaten Champions League
finalists has revealed his interest in adding an
attacking midfielder to his squad this summer
Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed Juventus are in
the market for a new attacking midfielder and
highlighted Real Madrid playmaker Isco and
Chelsea star Oscar as ideal potential signings.
The Scudetto and Coppa Italia winners went
painfully close to winning the treble in 2014-15,
losing to Spanish champions Barcelona in the
Champions League final.
Now Allegri has openly revealed his admiration of
creative talents Isco and Oscar, in addition to
Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi and Fiorentina's
Federico Bernardeschi.
With Carlos Tevez leaving for Boca Juniors and
Andrea Pirlo expected to join New York City, the
head coach is keen to freshen up his tactical
approach and playing squad next season to
replace the departing established stars.
"I would like a footballing inventor - they are never
boring," Allegri told La Repubblica. "A wildcard in
the line-up can bring a different balance to the
table.
"Ego in moderate amounts is not harmful to a
team's health. I like Real Madrid's Isco and
Brazil's Oscar, while among the young Italians
there is much to admire in Berardi and
Bernardeschi.

"The addition of a No.10 to the mix is both
a
tactical desire and a desire to add ego to my team.
"Without Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo this
coming season, Juve must change and experiment
with new ways of working."
Despite being a firm fan favourite, Isco has been
linked with a Real Madrid exit after spending two
seasons without cementing a place in the starting
XI when every player is fully fit, although Rafael
Benitez's arrival as head coach could change his
status.
Oscar featured 41 times for Chelsea last season
but has been heavily linked with Juventus, though
his agent recently denied the Brazil international
will be leaving Jose Mourinho's side.
The Turin club relinquished their co-ownership of
Berardi to Sassuolo for €10 million in June but are
widely expected to buy him back for €18m in
2016, while Bernardeschi has been persistently
rumoured to be heading for Fiorentina's exit door
