Manchester City have been involved in many deals with a lot of big clubs across Europe concerning a wide range of players.

Looking back over previous transfer windows, the Citizens have moved many players in and out of the Etihad Stadium on loans, free transfers and permanent deals for significant transfer fees.

In terms of outgoing deals, City have seen the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Cole Palmer, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus leave in recent memory.

Now though, in the middle of another summer transfer period, some behind-the-scenes details have come to light regarding another player on the books at the Manchester club who has been involved in numerous deals throughout his career.

Juventus make contact over potential Joao Cancelo transfer move

According to a recent report from Calciomercato, Juventus have made contact over a potential move for Joao Cancelo.

The report also adds that while no official move has been made for the full-back, the Italian club have discussed the possibility and could look to land a deal for him if certain aspects are approved.

City need another solution with Cancelo

The Blues spent £60m (via BBC Sport) to sign the defender from Juventus back in the 2019 summer transfer window.

After then making 154 appearances for City, the Portuguese international joined Bayern Munich on loan in the middle of the Manchester club’s Treble-winning season.

Having then spent all of last season on loan at Barcelona, it has since been claimed that Cancelo is not in Guardiola’s plans.

Now that it has been reported that a move back to Turin could be a possibility for the defender, this may be a suitable solution for City and Cancelo, especially if the Italian side are able to strike a deal that would take him off the Blues’ hands permanently.
