"Juventus" targets "Manchester City" midfielder Samir Nasri

The "Juventus" team continues to look for options to strengthen the club's defensive line. According to the latest reports, the Italian champions are interested in "Manchester City" representative Samir Nasri.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Frenchman is of interest to the Italian club, but they are not willing to pay the 20 million euros demanded by the "City" team, so they will try to loan the player in January with the option to buy out the defender's contract.

"Juventus" felt the lack of defenders after Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal left the club this summer.

Nasri played seven matches in the "Premier League" this season, scoring one goal. However, he only managed to break into the starting lineup once.

Lately, the Frenchman has not been called up to the national team, and the last time he wore the French national team jersey was in November 2013 during the match against the Ukrainian national team. Last year, at the age of just 27, he announced the end of his international career.
