Juventus GM Beppe Marotta admits they're preparing to sell Gonzalo Higuain this summer.

The Argentina striker is a target for Chelsea and AC Milan.

The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Turin has led to Juve rethinking their options, with general manager Marotta saying: “He is still an important player for us, but now we obviously have greater competition [up front].

"He is a professional and we are evaluating his future together with the people who represent him."

Chelsea are also close to a deal for Brazil winger Bernard, 25, who is a free agent after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk, while Valencia are interested in Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.
