Turin giants Juventus are planning a double summer swoop for Premier League stars Nemanja Vidic and Fernando Torres, according to a report. Juve are flying high in Serie A and want to gear up for their return to the Champions League for the first time time sinced 2009. Coach Antonio Conte has been promised funds to strengthen his side by the club - owned by the Agnelli family, who run auto giants Fiat - and has identified the Vidic and Torres as his prime target in a potential £50 million-plus package, according to the Mirror. Vidic, out until next season as he recovers from a ruptured cruciate knee ligament, has been a target of Serie A big guns. He is contracted at Old Trafford till 2013-14 and Juventus will test the resolve of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. £50 million-signing Torres has cut a forlorn figure at Stamford Bridge and was not a regular starter under former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas. However, having a turned the corner under interim boss Roberto di Matteo, Torres is no longer considered a liability at Stamford Bridge despite the Blues being linked with Porto\'s Brazilian Hulk, Real Madrid\'s Gonzalo Higuain and the Napoli pair of Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani, the report added. Juve, set to unload Alessandro Del Piero and Marco Boriello, will be waiting to pounce on Torres but would have to come up with a much better offer than their £30m evaluation for the Spaniard.
