Chelsea and Manchester United eye up deal for Juventus and Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio

Both Chelsea and Manchester United are considering moves for experienced Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio.

According to Tuttosport, the Premier League pair are both monitoring the 31-year-old, with suggestions that Blues boss Antonio Conte has already spoken to the player on the phone.

Marchisio has spent his entire career with Juventus, joining the Italian giants aged just seven, and he has made a total of 358 appearances for the club.

It may be difficult therefore, for former Juve boss Conte to tempt the Italy international away from Turin as, despite having endured a difficult spell with injuries, he remains integral to Massimiliano Allegri's side.

Manchester United are also thought to be keeping tabs on Marchisio and will be in the market for a new midfielder, following the departure of Bastian Schweinsteiger to Chicago Fire, this week.
