Juventus eyeing £10m January move for Man City defender

Juventus continue to be interested in Manchester City defender Aleksandar Kolarov and are weighing up a move for him.

Kolarov's place in the City side is under threat following Gael Clichy's arrival in the summer and Juventus have wanted the Serbian for a while.

They approached Lazio before Kolarov moved to City but failed to offer the necessary £16m their Italian rivals wanted.

Kolarov moved to City as a result but has struggled to adapt to life in England - and a return to Italy is in the offing.

Juventus are interested in the left-back and officials at the Serie A giants are willing to offer around £10m for him in the New Year.

Roberto Mancini is said to want to keep Kolarov but he may be tempted into proposing a player swap deal that would involve Milos Krasic.

The Serbian winger is on Manchester United and Chelsea's radars but Mancini is also a keen admirer of Kolarov's international team-mate.
