Juventus named as surprise club who could give Chelsea outcast an escape route | OneFootball

Juventus have been named as one surprise club who could end up giving a Chelsea outcast an escape route this summer.

The news comes after Chelsea went down 2-0 against Newcastle United away from home on Sunday lunch time in a crucial game for the race for Champions League football next season.

Chelsea needed to win this game as much as Newcastle did, but a first half sending off by Nicolas Jackson did not help their cause. Enzo Maresca has admitted that Jackson now needs to learn from this situation moving forward.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher now believes that Chelsea have a big problem after this defeat with just two games remaining of the season and the reality being that The Blues need two wins to guarantee a place in the Champions League for next season.

Big summer ahead

This summer has two different transfer windows due to the Club World Cup going on. Clubs will have a short time to buy some players before it begins, and then the window will reopen once again after the competition is played.

Chelsea are expected to be very busy, and they will also be looking to sell players. One player who is expected to finally leave the club is outcast forward Christopher Nkunku.

Juventus to give Nkunku an escape route?

According to a report from Il Bianconero, Juventus are now closely monitoring Nkunku’s situation and are interested in adding him to the ranks.

Juventus apparently see Nkunku as a versatile forward who could offer much-needed creativity and movement in their final third. However, there is an understanding within the club that caution is necessary. Nkunku’s form at Leipzig demonstrated his potential, but his struggles at Chelsea raise concerns about whether he can replicate that level in Serie A.
