Juventus 'open talks to re-sign Morata'

Juventus have allegedly opened talks with Chelsea about re-signing striker Alvaro Morata.

The Turin giants are keen to bring the Spaniard back to Italy as a potential replacement for Mario Mandzukic, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Mandzukic has been tipped to move to Turkey this summer, and Juve are said to have earmarked Morata as their first choice to fill the void up front.

The forward scored 27 goals in 93 appearances for the Old Lady during his previous stint there, between 2014 and 2016, but he has managed just 14 strikes in 41 matches for Chelsea.

Champions League quarter-finalists Juve are also rumoured to be considering Paris Saint-Germain's Edinson Cavani as an alternative to Morata.
