Manchester City may see another high-profile exit in the coming months, with Juventus the latest club to reportedly show an interest.
Pep Guardiola has overseen a summer rebuild at the Etihad this summer, with a number of notable names leaving the side following the club’s unprecedented period of success.
Man City let Kevin De Bruyne run down his contract, whilst also selling Ederson, Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gundogan.
In turn, the club have backed the coach with numerous new signings such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri, among others.
With many of the players Guardiola has relied on over the years now departed, another player continues to be linked with an exit, with Juventus entering the frame for his signature.
