Aleksandar Kolarov - Manchester CityJuventus have reportedly made an offer for Manchester City’s 27-year-old Serbian full-back Aleksandar Kolarov.

The former Lazio man has been linked with a move to the Old Lady for some time and it appears that the Turin side are now stepping up with their attempts to wrap up a deal for the player.

The Serbian’s time in Manchester appears to be coming to an end as he has publically complained about a lack of playing time and it is thought that the 27-year-old is keen on a return to Serie A.

According to Cheshire Today, the Bianconeri have sent the Premier League runners-up a bid of €12 million for the Serbian international, which is substantially less than the €18.6m the Citizens paid Lazio for Kolarov in 2010.

He has also received interest in Italy from Inter but Juve are favourites to sign the player as they can offer the glamour of Champions League football.

Kolarov started 11 times for City and came on as a substitute nine times during the 2012-13 Premier League season, scoring one goal.
