Juventus Targets Manchester City Defender Pablo Zabaleta

Italian giants Juventus has been reported to be lining up a £6million January bid for Manchester City full-back Pablo Zabaleta.

The Argentine international defender, a £6m signing from Espanyol last summer has been out in the cold at Eastlands and was sent off during his last start at Wigan earlier this month.

With England international defender Micah Richards firmly re-established as first-choice right-back, Zabaleta wants a move and Juventus are ready to pounce.
