Serie A side Cagliari are confident of securing a deal to sign Juventus defender Mauricio Isla ahead of West Ham this summer.
According to Italian source Tuttosport (via the Essex Chronicle), West Ham have made an enquiry into the availability of the right-back given their lack of recognised full-backs in the squad.
Bayer Leverkusen, Cagliari and Watford are all keen on the Chile international as well, say Tuttosport, while Bayern Munich are also monitoring the situation.
Following the arrival of former Barcelona star Dani Alves in Turin, Isla is almost certainly set to leave Juventus this summer, with a deal likely to be completed before the window slams shut.
The 28-year-old has Premier League experience with Queens Park Rangers having spent the 2014/15 season on loan with Rangers as they were relegated back to the Championship.
Isla spent last season on loan with Marseille but failed to impress enough to secure a permanent move.
Speaking recently, Cagliari sporting director Stefano Capozucca has stated that he’s confident the Serie A side will win the race for Isla this summer.
“We are confident and we hope to be able to get a definitive answer from Isla. The boy is liked by project at Cagliari, and slowly we are approaching the white smoke,” said the Cagliari director.
