Juventus 'wary of Chelsea interest in Aurelien Tchouameni'

Juventus have set their sights on signing Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, according to a report.

The 21-year-old is attracting interest from around Europe and has previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Having made a strong start to the season in Ligue 1, Tchouameni made his senior debut for France in September and has since earned five international caps.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are hoping that the interest of other clubs does not translate to any bids for Tchouameni, as the Italian side are eager to sign him themselves.

The report adds that Massimiliano Allegri views the Frenchman as a potential replacement for Aaron Ramsey or Weston McKennie, who could leave Turin in January.

Tchouameni joined Monaco from Bordeaux in January 2020, with his contract at Stade Louis II running until the summer of 2024.
