Manchester City centre back Aymeric Laporte has emerged as a possible summer target for Italian giants Juventus.
The 28-year-old is being lined up as a potential replacement for club legend Giorgio Chiellini after he left Juventus at the end of the season, according to reports from Corriere Dello Sport.
Although City may be at the top of the footballing pyramid, it is thought the idea of a constant starting role could be a major factor in the player's decision.
With John Stones threatening the Spaniard's place in the starting XI, and Ruben Dias more or less one of the first three names on the team sheet it is unlikely the Laporte will be assured of starting most games next season.
