Aleksandar Kolarov claims he wants to quit Manchester City - with Juventus ready to pounce.
Kolaraov says he wants to move because he is unhappy with his lack of first-team opportunities.
The Serbia left-back played second fiddle to Gael Clichy last season and is not satisfied with making just 11 Premier League starts.
Kolarov complained to Roberto Mancini before he was sacked and does not believe his prospects will improve under his successor Manuel Pellegrini.
"I'm in contact with my agent, and soon we will understand what may happen," he told MEN Sport.
"I'm happy at City , but want to play regularly, as I said to Roberto Mancini."
Carlos Tevez joined Juve from City this week, taking a pay cut of around £100,000-a-week, and Kolarov says he is also prepared to accept a reduced salary to go.
"Money is not everything in life and I have no problem in revising my salary," he said. "Simply, I want a place in the starting line-up."
It is believed Juve would like to sign Kolarov on loan and this is unlikely to be acceptable to City who prefer permanent deals for any unwanted fringe players.
