Manchester City 'revive Joao Cancelo interest'

Manchester City have reportedly revived their interest in Juventus defender Joao Cancelo.

The Premier League champions have been strongly linked with a move for the Portugal international over the last few weeks as they look to provide Kyle Walker with competition at right-back.

Pep Guardiola's side had reportedly dropped their interest in Cancelo to pursue a move for Barcelona's Nelson Semedo, before learning that the defender would not be available for less than £81m.

According to Sportitalia, City are now preparing to approach Juve over a summer deal, although the Italian champions are refusing to budge on their £45.5m valuation.

The 25-year-old, who has a contract in Turin until the end of the 2022-23 campaign, scored once and provided five assists in 34 appearances for the Old Lady last term.
