A bizarre report from a Turin based newspaper journalist claims that Juventus have an agreement in place for Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola.

Luigi Guelpa, a journalist at Turin-based paper Il Giornale, made the remarkable claim that an agreement is already in place for Pep to join Juve.

“I’ve learned that Pep Guardiola already has reached a verbal agreement with Juventus for the next four years. It’s the same person who told me that Ronaldo was going to Juventus,” Gelpa told Radio CRC.

Reports from various papers in Italy and beyond claim that Max Allegri is almost certain to leave the club in the summer and that Juve are already looking for a replacement.

A previous report suggested Juve had already met with French coach and former Bianconeri player, Didier Deschamps while Zinedine Zidane has also been linked to the role.
