Marouane Fellaini emerges as surprise 'top target' for Juventus

Juventus have reportedly placed Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini high up their wanted list of summer transfer targets.

The Italian champions are expected to push through an £18m deal for Blaise Matuidi from Paris Saint-Germain in the coming days to bolster their midfield options ahead of the new campaign.

According to The Sun, however, Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri has not finished there as he is keen to bring Fellaini to the club from United in the next fortnight.

Juventus are said to be willing to hand over £22.5m for the Belgium international, who is understood to be considering his future at Old Trafford.

Fellaini, also linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray last month, has featured from the bench in both of United's competitive games this season.
