Matteo Darmian could make a potential return to Italy as Serie A Champions, Juventus, reportedly make contact with the 28-year-old defender.

However, since then Darmian’s career has gone downhill and as a result, he has been regularly linked with a return to Italy in recent weeks.

Juve are currently facing major problems in the right-back area and with Stephan Lichtsteiner moving closer to the exit, the Old Lady is keen on acquiring a renowned defender to fill the role. And for now, Juventus’ CEO, Beppe Marotta, has shortlisted the Man Utd defender as a potential candidate for the job.
The report mentioned that the Italian giants had “already begun making contact with Darmian’s representatives to understand his situation and get a better sense of where they stand in his mind”.
Darmian has made a total of 79 appearances for the Old Trafford outfit with 11 of those coming this season. The Italian right-back has also scored once and produced three assists so far for the Red Devils.
