Juve to target Werner or Martial if Morata deal fails

Juventus will look to Chelsea's Timo Werner or Manchester United's Anthony Martial if they cannot wrap up a deal for main target Alvaro Morata, according to Sky Italy.

Juve boss Max Allegri has identified the Spaniard as the missing piece to complete his new-look front line with Dusan Vlahovic and Angel Di Maria.

Morata is back at Atletico after Juve passed up on their £29.7m option to sign him permanently when his two-year loan expired in June, as they want to try and negotiate a lower fee.

Martial had already been of interest to Juventus in the January transfer window before he eventually joined Sevilla on loan.

Sky Germany understands Werner is attracting interest from his former club RB Leipzig, who received £49m for him when his release clause was met by Chelsea two years ago.
