Juventus have identified Manchester City defender, Aymeric Laporte, as a potential transfer option to replace one of their current players.
Last month, it was claimed that the Spaniard “looks certain” to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer having fallen out of favour and losing his place in the team.
Now, some details have emerged concerning one club that have got the City defender on their transfer radar this summer.
Juventus eyeing Laporte as potential Bremer replacement
According to a recent report from Corriere dello Sport (via Tuttojuve), if Juventus defender, Bremer, were to leave the Italian club this summer, they would look to replace him with Laporte or Real Sociedad’s Robin Le Normand, who has a €40m (£34m) release clause in his contract.
City splashed out a then club-record fee of £57m to sign Laporte from Athletic Bilbao back in the 2018 January transfer window.
Since then, the centre-back has made 179 appearances for the Manchester club across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and winning lots of trophies including five Premier League titles.
With the Spain international, who Pep Guardiola once dubbed an “incredible” player, only starting 11 league games last season, this shows why he has been linked with a summer exit in this transfer window.
Should Bremer, who has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur recently, find himself leaving Juventus, it would make sense for the Italian club to look at securing a deal for Laporte given how it could be fairly straightforward to get him out of City if he’s open to moving away in an effort to get regular playing time.
