Juventus look to have joined the race for Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes. The 24-year-old has been told by new Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde that he’s surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou and the Serie A champions are ready to make their move.
 

Already linked with Roma’s Kevin Strootman, Juve see the Portuguese international as an alternative as the Giallorossi refuse to sanction any deal for their star Dutchman and having secured Frenchman Blaise Matuidi last week, CEO Beppe Marotta wants more reinforcements for the central areas.
 

Gomes has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham all interested but according to today’s Corriere dello Sport, the player could make the surprise switch to Italy.
