Claudio Marchisio could be cashed in by Juventus next month.
Tuttosport says Juve are seeking to sell after an early Champions League elimination which will leave a £17 million shortfall.
Several players have already been ruled out including Carlos Tevez, Fernando Llorente, Sebastian Giovinco, Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba.
Marchisio, instead, could be sacrificed in January.
Manchester United took a close look at Marchisio, while Liverpool and Chelsea were also linked last summer.
