Douglas Luiz is one of the names on the list of Manchester City midfielders.
City are exploring options in the market for a new number 6 and former Aston Villa midfielder Luiz, who has made just 16 appearances for Juventus this season, is one of the players they are exploring.
Interest from the Premier League champions could increase if Juventus, who only signed the 26-year-old this summer, are willing to agree to a six-month loan deal without permanent transfer clauses.
It is not certain that City will make an addition to this position in this window, but it is a possibility if the deal suits them.
Sky Sports News have already reported that they will not pursue Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who is closing in on a move to Arsenal this summer, nor Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes.
Luiz is expected to leave Juventus in some capacity this month and the former Aston Villa star wants to return to the Premier League.
He only made the move to Juve last summer in a £21m deal that saw winger Samuel Iling-Junior and midfielder Enzo Barrenechea go the other way, with both players since being loaned out. The Brazilian midfielder signed a five-year contract with Juventus.
Luiz scored nine goals in 35 Premier League appearances last season as Unai Emery's side qualified fourth for the Champions League.
Any potential move to City would mean a return to the Etihad Stadium for Luiz, who played for City between 2017 and 2019 without making a single appearance.
Marmoush expected to fly to Britain this week to complete City's move
Meanwhile, Omar Marmoush is expected to fly to Britain early this week to complete his move to Manchester City.
City reached a verbal agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign striker Marmoush on Friday and he was left out of the Eintracht squad that defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday evening, with the German club confirming they were 'in talks with another club'. regarding the transfer of Omar Marmoush”.
Marmoush, who can operate in the front three, has scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga so far this season, just one behind Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who tops the table with 16 goals.
