Juventus Plotting Summer Raid For Liverpool Target Isco and Marcelo

Italian Serie A champions Juventus are reportedly eyeing a double swoop on European champions Real Madrid ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

This is according to the publication from popular Italian news portal Tuttosport which claimed that the Italians will raid Real Madrid for the duo of Isco Alarcon and Marcelo.

Spanish international Isco has not had the best of times at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu this season especially since club manager Santiago Solari took over in October.

Ex-Real Madrid winger Solari was initially appointed as the interim manager before he was given a permanent role as the Real Madrid gaffer weeks later.

He was in charge of the Real Madrid Castilla team.

The struggles encountered by Isco Alarcon at Real Madrid this term have prompted transfer talks over his future at the club with Premier League sides like Manchester United, Chelsea and title chasers Liverpool linked with him.

Isco has not been a regular for Real Madrid under Santiago Solari.

In recent weeks, Brazilian international Marcelo has also been dropped from the starting XI by the aforementioned Solari and he could link up with his friend and former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.

Isco and Marcelo could join Ronaldo at Juventus if the Spanish giants sanction their respective transfers.
