The agent of Claudio Marchisio has said that the Juventus midfielder is attracting interest from "top" Premier League sides ahead of this summer's transfer window.
Stefano Marchisio, who is also the father of the Italy international, admits that the player is interested in a move to England should the Serie A side not offer him a new deal.
He told The Mirror: "In my view, the club has other priorities and therefore hasn't even considered Claudio's situation, as he has a contract until 2016.
"Has there been other contact? I did receive a few phone calls, above all from top Premier League clubs. Of course we can only be flattered and this underlines Claudio's excellent season so far.
"Obviously, his preference remains Juventus. He was born and raised at Juventus, so if things go normally, negotiations for a renewal should be simple. Having said that, it takes two to form a marriage."
The 29-year-old has featured 35 times in all competitions so far this season for Juventus.
