Pep Guardiola is reportedly eager to bring Leonardo Bonucci to Manchester City, but faces a fight to prise him away from Juventus.
City have been left short at centre-back this season following the departure of Vincent Kompany and the long-term injury suffered by Aymeric Laporte last August.
And 32-year-old Bonucci could be the solution to solving what has become a problem position for Guardiola, who has seemingly lost faith in Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones.
But Juventus are determined not to let the talismanic defender go, according to Calcio Mercarto.
