Juventus are ready to step up their long-term interest in Chelsea playmaker Oscar.

The Italian champions are huge admirers of the Brazilian, who joined Chelsea from Internacional for £25m in 2012. Mourinho has always claimed he is not for sale but Chelsea are believed to be prepared to listen to offers in excess of £30m.

Juventus, along with AC Milan and Inter Milan, are also looking at Chelsea’s Egypt international Mohamed Salah.

Fiorentina, where he impressed on loan in the second half of the recent campaign, have first option to renew the arrangement for the whole of next year or just buy him outright.
