Juventus, Inter rival Chelsea for Lyon defender

Juventus, Inter rival Chelsea for Lyon defender

Juventus, Inter and Roma are set to rival Chelsea for Mouctar Diakhaby.

According to sources in Italy, the French Under-21 international was watched by scouts representing all three Italian sides.

The Lyon defender has been watched by Chelsea for a while, with Coach Antonio Conte considering him to be a potential replacement for centre-back Antonio Rudiger, who has struggled in London.

Barcelona are also known to be interested in the defender.

Antonio Conte is a big fan of the defender as Antonio Rudiger has been struggling, but Juventus are also on the lookout for young defenders, and the 20-year-old fits the bill perfectly, especially now as Daniele Rugani is struggling to impose himself as a regular starting option.

The young Frenchman has scored two goal this season for Lyon, despite only returning to action recently following an injury.

Inter would also be interested in a young alternative not called Andrea Ranocchia.
