Reports tonight have surfaced in Italy that Juventus are preparing to make a bid for Manchester City's out of favour striker Edin Dzeko.
Sources close to Beppe Marotta have confirmed that the Turin giants are set to offer Manchester City €18.5m for the services of Dzeko. Although it was widely reported earlier in the month that Juventus would not be entering into the January market, manager Antonio Conte is desperate to add to his striking options.
Dzeko, who has frequently found himself on the City bench, is reported to be exceptionally frustrated at his lack of starts since moving to Manchester from Wolfsburg and would be responsive to a move to Italy.
The stumbling block may well be the price. Manchester City will look for considerably more than €18.5m, while Dzeko would be expected to take a drop in wages to join The Old Lady of Turin.
