Allegri pushing Juventus to prise Bryan Cristante away from Benfica

Juventus are chasing Benfica midfielder Bryan Cristante.

The youngster only left Italy in the summer, having been sold by AC Milan to the Portuguese giants. However, he's struggled to find first team space so far this season.

A Bola says Juve are pushing to bring Cristante back to Serie A - and willing to do business as early as January.

Juve are prepared to go as high as €9 million for the young midfielder, who barely has a handful of first team appearances to his name.

Former Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri, now in charge of Juve, is driving the deal.
