Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri wants a guarantee that he can sign Oscar prior to signing a contract extension with the club.
The Italian’s current deal with Juve is due to expire in 2018 and the Serie A side are desperate to tie him down to a long-term contract with the likes of Manchester United linked with Allegri.
If Allegri is to sign a new deal in Turin, they will need to make some promises in regards to incomings and outgoings within the transfer market. The experienced gaffer has Chelsea attacking midfielder Oscar as his main summer transfer target.
There has been speculation growing over the last two seasons about the Brazil international making a move to the Italian giants, and is number one on the transfer target list once again for Allegri this year, claim Tuttosport.
It is rumoured that Allegri has made it clear to the Juventus hierarchy that Oscar is his most preferred signing but they are also monitoring Isco and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as well as scouting Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore in recent weeks.
