Juventus eyeing Man City defender Karim Rekik

Juventus are eyeing Manchester City defender Karim Rekik.

Juve sports chief Fabio Paratici has been given a brief by his board to identify the best young players in Europe and bring them to Turin.

Among his shortlist of prospects is Rekik, currently playing on-loan with PSV Eindhoven.

The 19 year-old defender spent the preseason with City before leaving for PSV in the final days of the summer market.

City boss Manuel Pellegrini rates Rekik highly, but the arrival of Eliaquim Mangala has unsettled the Dutchman.
