Juventus are eyeing a late move for Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte.

The Times says Juventus are showing interest in Laporte - who is still eager to find a new club after losing confidence in his future with City last season.

Laporte is no longer a starting player for manager Pep Guardiola - who instead is happy with Ruben Dias and John Stones as his first-choice centre-half pairing.

The problem for Laporte is that it's been difficult finding a club willing to match his £160,000-a-week wages, including Juventus.

Laporte needs regular football to stay in Spain's plans for next year's World Cup.
