Douglas Luiz is one of the names on Manchester City's midfield target list.
Manchester City are looking for a new number six and former Aston Villa midfielder Luiz, who has made just 16 appearances for Juventus this season, is one of the players they are considering.
If Juventus sign the 26-year-old only in the summer and are willing to agree a straightforward six-month loan deal with no permanent transfer clause, interest from the Premier League champions could intensify.
City are unsure about adding to the position this window, but if the deal suits them, it's a possibility.

Luiz is expected to leave Juventus this month, with the former Aston Villa star hoping to return to the Premier League.
