Reports in Gazzetta dello Sport (via The Express) today claim that Juventus are set to make a move for Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric. The 31-year-old, who was instrumental in his side’s 4-1 Champions League Final victory over the Bianconeri last weekend, is believed to be one of coach Massimo Allegri’s big summer targets.
 

Prior to the game the Croatian international had stated that if the club won their twelfth (and his third) European crown, then he may consider moving on and the emergence of players such as Casemiro has made the future uncertain for the former Spurs man.
 

There has already been speculation that Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti is keen to link up with his former player in Bavaria and that the Bundesliga giants are already planning a £27M assault. The pink journal however, claims that Juve are ready to offer the player a huge salary to head to Serie A next season and has cited the experience that Modric would bring to the squad as the club looks to break their 21-year hoodoo in Europe’s premier club competition.
