Juventus are reportedly plotting a big-money swoop to steal Pep Guardiola from Manchester City, amid reports the Italian champions are unhappy with Maurizio Sarri who could be fired if they fail to win the title for a ninth-straight year.

And now, he is being tipped to leave the Premier League champions in favour of a move to Italy.
