Juventus have listed eight first-team players, with Premier League clubs on alert as the Italian giants look to drastically trim their squad this summer.

The Turin club are making big changes under new coach Thiago Motta after a disappointing season last season, finishing third in Serie A.

There have been some big signings, most notably Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa, and the Old Lady are also looking to trim some squad fat.

Transfer Specialist Fabrizio Romano reports that the octet of Federico Chiesa, Wojciech Szczesny, Weston McKennie, Mattia De Sciglio, Arthur Melo, Filip Kostic, Hans Nicolussi-Caviglia and Daniele Rugani are all up for sale during the current window.

Motta made the club’s feelings clear, saying: ‘They are out of the project and need to find a new club. We are convinced that this is the best possible decision.

‘At the moment the club is looking for solutions elsewhere, they need to find them as quickly as possible for the good of everyone.’

Some will find it easier than others to find a new club, with long-term interest in Premier League side Chiesa and offers expected.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle are all linked with a move for the 26-year-old, who has 51 caps for Italy.

The former Fiorentina striker was a regular starter for Juve last season, making 37 appearances in all competitions and scoring 10 goals.

Italian publication Corriere dello Sport reports that Juventus have slashed their asking price for Chiesa to just €15m (£12.8m) as they look to offload him and avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.

Of the other players listed for transfer, some have Premier League experience, with former Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny up for sale, as well as McKennie and Melo, who have spent loan spells at Leeds United and Liverpool respectively.

Szczesny has been linked with an exciting return to the Gunners as back-up to David Raya should Aaron Ramsdale leave this summer.
