Juventus 'eyeing Dembele, Bernardeschi swap with Barcelona'

Juventus are reportedly keen to reach an agreement with Barcelona over a swap deal involving Federico Bernardeschi and Ousmane Dembele.

The two European giants came to an agreement over Arthur and Miralem Pjanic during the summer, with the former leaving Camp Nou for Turin, while the latter moved in the opposite direction.

According to Tuttosport, the Italian champions are now keen to negotiate a swap for Dembele, with the Old Lady prepared to send Bernardeschi to Ronald Koeman's side.

Dembele was strongly linked with a move away from the Catalan giants over a summer, and Manchester United were thought to be close to signing him before the window closed on October 5.

Bernardeschi, meanwhile, is believed to be surplus to requirements at Juve under new head coach Andrea Pirlo, with the 26-year-old largely struggling to impress since arriving from Fiorentina.

A recent report also claimed that the Italian outfit attempted to sign Ansu Fati from Barca over the summer.
