Juventus are reportedly considering a move for Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte this summer which could potentially spell good news for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
Reports in Italy claim that the Bianconeri are looking for a replacement for long-serving stalwart Giorgio Chiellini, who has left the club on a free transfer after 16 years with the Italian giants. Laporte is one of Max Allegri’s top targets, along with Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes and Monaco’s Benoit Badiashile.
But Corriere dello Sport claim Spain international Laporte could prove to be obtainable this summer, with the Man City centre-back ‘not considered non-transferrable’ by the Premier League champions. The 28-year-old arrived at the Etihad Stadium in a £47m deal from Athletic Bilbao back in 2018 and has become a key member of Guardiola’s backline.
