Claudio Marchisio ponders summer exit

Juventus hotshot Claudio Marchisio could be leaving Turin at the end of the current campaign, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Despite playing a key role for the Bianconeri over the last couple of seasons, the Italy international has found his first team chances limited with the emergence of French midfielder Paul Pogba.

And while the club chiefs are preparing new contracts for Vidal, Pirlo and Pogba, they could easily stay without Marchisio in the summer.

Namely, the highly rated midfielder is far from happy with his current status at the club, and is likely to consider his options at the end of the season.

Monaco are believed to be leading the chase for the 27-year-old, while Manchester United are also expected to reignite interest in their long-term target.

Having climbed to the top of the league standings for the first time this season, Juventus are 2/5 favourites to defend the Serie A title.
