Well, it appears he could have the opportunity to ply his trade in Italy.

The Stockport teenage sensation is reportedly subject to interest from Juventus, who are also tracking the progress of another budding English talent in the shape of Jadon Sancho.

Italian outlet Tuttosport claim Juventus are planning for the future, and have added both Foden and Sancho to their transfer wish list.

Foden has featured in five games across all competitions this season under Guardiola, and recently netted his first goal for the club against Oxford United in the Carabao Cup.

He remained at the club despite reports linking him with a loan move away.
