Premier League transfer blow! Juventus in for Real Madrid trio

Juventus are plotting a triple swoop on Real Madrid - and that could scupper the transfer plans of several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Old Lady's general manager Beppe Marotta was in Madrid on Wednesday, ahead of Italy's friendly match with Spain, and spent time with former Juve and current Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Marotta was sounding out his compatriot over the availability of Bernabeu stars Angel di Maria, Fabio Coentrao and Alvaro Morata.

Arsenal - as talkSPORT told you at the end of last month - will revive their long-standing interest in young striker Morata in the summer, with Real Madrid open to cashing in on the academy graduate.

Coentrao, the Portugal international, saw his August deadline day move to Manchester United fall through last year, and has also been linked with Tottenham.

And Argentina winger Di Maria has previously been tracked by Arsenal, Spurs and Madrid.

Real could use Juventus' interest in the trio to enhance their own transfer prospects. The Bernabeu giants are keen on Juve midfielders Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal, who have both been monitored by United boss David Moyes.
