Juventus set to sign Fernando Torres

Serie A giants Juventus are hopeful of luring Chelsea striker Fernando Torres to Turin in the summer transfer window, Goal.com reported.

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.
