A Manchester City target's agent is reportedly pushing for their client to leave their current club.
Mino Raiola counts Erling Haaland among his clients and there has been plenty of speculation about the Borussia Dortmund forward moving to the Etihad sooner rather than later.
But according to Goal, who cite Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Raiola wants to see Matthijs de Ligt leave Juventus and join another club at the end of the season.
It is believed that De Ligt has a release clause of £125m which only becomes active in the summer.
However, Goal say that the Serie A giants would be prepared to see him go for £54.1m instead.
