Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are all reportedly looking to sign Manchester United captain Harry Maguire during this summer's transfer window.
The 30-year-old has been restricted to 28 appearances in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign, having dropped down the pecking order in terms of the spots in the middle of the defence.
Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are Man United's first-choice centre-backs, although the pair are currently on the sidelines, with the former out for the remainder of the campaign.
Maguire is therefore expected to be a starter for the Red Devils in the closing stages of the season, but he is still likely to depart in the upcoming market in search of regular action.
The Englishman has only started seven Premier League matches this term, while he made his third Europa League start of the campaign against Sevilla on Thursday night.

A mistake from Maguire allowed Sevilla to take the lead in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final, with the Spanish outfit running out 3-0 winners on the night to triumph 5-2 on aggregate.
Newcastle United, Leicester City and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs to be credited with an interest in the former Sheffield United youngster in recent months.
According to 90min, a number of Italian clubs are looking to sign the Man United captain, who is seriously considering making the move to Serie A at the end of the season.
The report claims that Juventus, Milan and Inter are all keen on Maguire, with the trio looking to sign the defender on loan with options to buy in the summer of 2024.

Maguire is believed to collect in the region of £190,000 a week in terms of wages, which could make it difficult for Man United to sell him during this summer's transfer window.
The Englishman made the move to Old Trafford from Leicester in 2019, and he has represented the club on 172 occasions, contributing seven goals and five assists in the process.
Maguire will be unavailable for Man United's FA Cup semi-final against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday through suspension, which could lead to Luke Shaw playing alongside Victor Lindelof in the middle of the defence.
Marcus Rashford could also come back into the starting side against the Seagulls, with the forward making his return from injury as a substitute against Sevilla on Thursday night.
