Chelsea are planning a move for AS Monaco midfielder Aurelin Tchouameni.

Juventus have been preparing a bid for the youngster, though Chelsea are also interested in the midfielder.

Turin sources say Juve intermediaries are aware of Chelsea's plans to compete for Tchouameni's signature.

The Bianconeri need to shift out players before bidding for the youngster, though have the advantage that they intend to add Tchouameni to coach Max Allegri's squad this season.

In contrast, Chelsea plan to buy Tchouameni before sending him away on-loan elsewhere.
