Manchester City could be in line for a surprise swoop for Juventus striker David Trezeguet, according to recent reports.
The highest-scoring foreign striker for the Old Lady has spent the majority of the current campaign in the stands due to multiple injuries.
The Frenchman went under the knife in September after sustaining a knee tendon injury in Juve's first game in the Champions League this season, a 1-0 win over Zenit St. Petersburg.
Trezeguet also have both knees operated on earlier in the season, when he struggled in pre-season and the early rounds of the Serie A competition. The French striker is slated for a return this month.
The hitman has just resumed training recently, and is reported to be making strides as he closes in on a comeback.
However, rumours have it that his return could be in a sky blue jersey as it is alleged that Manchester City has the intention of making a US$30 million bid for the player to ply his trade in the Barclays Premier League.
The Eastlands club are monitoring the situation at the Stadio Olimpico as Trezeguet may have a hard time finding his place in the Juve attacking rotation, as he has to battle Alessandro Del Piero, Amauri, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Sebastian Giovinco for a starting berth.
The English side are optimistic about landing the French striker, even though they are currently in the wrong half of the BPL table.
Reports of the deal remain rumours at this stage, and unless there are any formal discussions or statements made, it is highly unlikely that a player, who has scored an incredible 130 times in just over 200 appearances, would walk away from the Old Lady.
