Manchester City are interested in signing Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso.
But City sources say talks are not as advanced as reports in Italy are suggesting and there is no guarantee a transfer will be completed this month.
However, Pep Guardiola is keen to bring in an orthodox left-back, something City have not had since Benjamin Mendy, who was suspended and subsequently released after serious sexual allegations were made against him. The Frenchman was cleared in 2023.
Cambiaso, 24, joined Juventus from Genoa in 2022, where he came up through the youth ranks.
The Italy international, who has also played at right-back, spent a season on loan at Bologna before becoming a first-team regular for Juventus. Last summer he came off the bench in three of the national team's four matches at Euro 2024.
Cambiaso has made 25 appearances in all competitions for Juventus this term, scoring twice and providing two assists.
He missed his side's 2-0 Champions League win over City in December with an ankle issue.
City are having an unusually busy January, with Brazilian teenager Vitor Reis flying in for a medical to complete his move from Palmeiras.
The Premier League champions are yet to confirm they have signed Uzbekistan defender Abdukodir Khusanov even though they have agreed a €40m (£33.6m) fee with Lens for the 20-year-old.
City are also closing in on the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush.
Sources have told the BBC a verbal agreement has been reached between the two clubs, but the transfer has not yet been completed.
City captain Kyle Walker could leave the club after Guardiola revealed the England right-back, 34, had asked to "explore other options".
