Juventus make sensational move to sign Chelsea misfit Fernando Torres
The Bianconeri are keen to add some fresh blood to their attack this summer, and are looking into the possibilities of luring the Spaniard to Turin
Serie A giants Juventus are hopeful of luring Chelsea striker Fernando Torres to Turin in the summer transfer window, Goal.com can reveal.
The Bianconeri are looking to add a high-profile name to their attack ahead of the 2012-13 campaign, and have previously been linked with Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain. However, the 28-year-old Torres is Juve's primary target.
Sporting director Fabio Paratici has already contacted Margarita Garay, the player's former agent and still a member of his entourage, to discuss a potential summer move.
Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool in January 2011 for a fee of €58.5 million, but the striker has never really been able to live up to the high expectations at Stamford Bridge.
Therefore, the Premier League side could opt to offload the former Atletico Madrid star this summer if he fails to find top form in the remainder of the 2011-12 campaign, and Juventus are keen to lure him to Serie A.
General director Giuseppe Marotta wants to see whether Torres has what it takes to succeed in the Italian top flight before signing him on a permanent basis though, and therefore wants to sign the attacker on a one-year loan deal, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of his initial spell.
However, the Spain international ended a 25-hour goalscoring drought at the weekend in Chelsea's 5-2 FA Cup win over Leicester City, and the Blues are unlikely to sell Torres this summer if he returns to top form in the remaining two months of the season.

This poll is stupid as a loan+option to buy is a win win situation
We get a potential WC player as Torres on his best is definitely top 5 and securing a top 5 striker is always good
If he doesnt play like the old Torres he could be sitting on the bench and return to Chelsea at the end of the season
anyway it means we only pay if he is good! There is no risk about it!
However this is just pure speculation as Chelsea would never go for that kind of deal
I can only see Torres leave for a full transfer or a loan+obligation to buy and in both cases I dont see the price below 30M
