Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Timo Werner is an option for Juventus, out of nowhere bringing news that there’s still teams interested in the attacker.
According to the Italian transfer insider, the Old Lady are still keen to get Alvaro Morata on a permanent deal from Atletico Madrid, and he is the manager’s “priority.”
But if that deal proves hard to do, Werner is considered a useful alternative for the club.
Timo Werner could really leave Chelsea this summer. He's one of the names in Juventus list alongside Allegri's priority Morata – was already discussed during negotiations for de Ligt. #CFC @SkySport

There had been so little interest in Werner that we had started to give up hope that the club could shift him. The RB Leipzig rumours of the last few days didn’t smell right – his wages are just too big. This Tweet reveals that Chelsea tried to include Werner in a loan deal with the German side as part of signing Nordi Mukiele – who will instead join PSG.
This news of Juventus interest gives fresh impetus to the idea that Chelsea could yet find a buyer for Werner.
