Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri desperate to sign Chelsea star

Juventus are reportedly eyeing up a swoop to bring Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to Turin next year.

The 27-year-old is a peripheral figure at Stamford Bridge having lost his starting spot to Edouard Mendy last campaign.

Arrizabalaga, who is tied down in West London until 2025, has featured in just three games in all competitions this season.

But despite his lack of game time, Juventus are said to be keen to secure his services to replace ex-Arsenal shot-stopper Wojciech Szczesny.

According to Fichajes, boss Massimiliano Allegri is desperate to bring the Spain international to Italy.

It is said that Juve have run out of patience with Szczesny, who has been plagued by inconsistent performances this term.

And they have made signing Arrizabalaga their priority in 2022.

However the news outlet claims that the Old Lady will wait until the summer to do business and will not make a move for him in the winter transfer window.

Juventus are said to have always been interested in the goalkeeper – even during his time at Athletic Bilbao before he made the switch to England.

However they could face competition from their Serie A rivals Lazio in the race to prise him away from the Premier League.
