Manchester City are targeting Parma striker Sebastian Giovinco, according to the player's agent.
Claudio Pasqualin told Sky Italia that the Premier League champions are one of several clubs that have made enquiries about the Italy international.
Giovinco, who has scored 15 goals in Serie A this season, is co-owned by Juventus and has been linked with a move back to the Turin giants. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are also said to be interested.
"There are so many clubs interested in Giovinco, big clubs across Europe," Pasqualin said. "They are in Spain, Germany and England. In the Premier League there was a contact with Manchester City.
"[Juventus coach, Antonio] Conte wants Giovinco in his squad? I have never talked with him, but we'll meet with Juventus and I will be able to answer this question.
"[Parma owner] Tommaso Ghirardi said he is worth €40m? A good agent does not enter into these issues but I agree with the Parma president. Giovinco deserves comparison with [Alexis] Sanchez and [Javier] Pastore."
Giovinco was named in Italy's Euro 2012 provisional squad despite carrying a knee injury.
