Juventus to move for Valencia ace Andre Gomes

The Bianconeri need to strengthen in midfield, with Claudio Marchisio set to miss the start of next season with a knee injury, and are eyeing up los Che's Portugal international.

Juventus has entered the race to sign Andre Gomes but is aware that the club faces stiff competition for the Valencia ace.

The Bianconeri had already looked at the possibility of strengthening their midfield during the winter transfer window but ultimately decided against lodging a bid for Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan.

However, Juve must now act this summer, with Claudio Marchisio having suffered a knee ligament injury in Sunday's Serie A win over Palermo that has not only ruled the Italy international out of Euro 2016, but also the start of next season.
