Juventus target Barcelona midfielder as part of £106m splurge: Real Madrid want him

Barcelona are supposedly prepared to sell Gomes, who only joined the club from Valencia in a £30million deal last summer, for roughly the same price.

The 23-year-old has struggled to hold down a place in manager Luis Enrique’s first team and is said to be open to leaving the Nou Camp.

Yesterday Spanish media claimed Gomes’ agent Jorge Mendes is working hard to secure the player a new deal.

It was suggested .

But Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claim Juve have set their attention on the midfielder as manager Massimiliano Allegri seeks to boost his squad.

According to the report, Allegri will be given £106m (€126m) to chase three international stars this summer.

One of those is Gomes, who is available at the right price after a mixed season at his new club.

The others are Milan full-back Mattia De Sciglio and Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa.

Allegri is keen to maintain Juve’s strong defensive unit and De Sciglio has been on the manager’s radar for some time.

Bayern may also be open to selling Costa, who started on the bench in both legs of their Champions League quarter-final defeat to Real Madrid last month.

Costa, 26, joined Bayern from Shakhtar Donetsk in a £21m deal but would likely cost Juve much more now as his contract in Munich runs to 2020, meaning the Bundesliga club are under no pressure to sell and can set a hefty transfer fee.
