Serie A champions Juventus are set to sign former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, according to French media L’Equipe.

Drogba was reportedly a target of Juve before he joined Galatasaray in January 2013

The Blues’ legend, 36, will be leaving the Turkish club on a free transfer this summer.

Asides from Drogba, the Italian champions are in for a busy summer with reports of some big names set for moves to Turin.

Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that Juve’s main target is Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez, with the Spanish club willing to sell if the right offer is made.

Other possibly signings, according to press in Italy, include Manchester United’s Portuguese winger Nani and Arsenal’s target Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.
