Juventus plot stunning double deal with Real Madrid: Arsenal also want both players
ARSENAL'S transfer plans could be shelved this summer as Juventus plot a sensational double deal with Real Madrid, according to reports.
Arsenal have competition from Juventus over Isco (left) and Morata, claim Tuttosport
The Gunners are reportedly interested in Juve striker Alvaro Morata and Real midfielder Isco.
But they may struggle to land either player if Juve director Beppe Marotta gets his way.
According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, the Turin club are preparing a shock agreement with Real to keep forward Morata on their books before moving in for Isco.
And Juve will then push to sign Isco, whose transfer fee is reportedly set at £23m.
Arsenal are said to be keen on landing Morata, who has scored just 10 goals all season for Juve and who recently said he prefers English and German football over the Italian league.

The Gunners' interest in Isco, meanwhile, arose last summer as manager Arsene Wenger sought midfield recruits but Real did not receive a bid.
Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claimed last month that Juve were pursuing 23-year-old Isco and it is thought a deal could be struck off the back of the Morata agreement.
