Massimiliano Allegri targets Oscar for Juventus

Allegri confirms Oscar interest

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has reiterated his desire to sign Chelsea midfielder Oscar in this window.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Serie A this summer, and Allegri has admitted that he is looking at him and Real Madrid's Isco to add some creativity to his team.

He told reporters: "I would like a footballing inventor - they are never boring. A wildcard in the lineup 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. The addition of a number 10 to the mix is both a tactical desire and a desire to add ego to my team."

Oscar joined Chelsea from Internacional in 2012.
