Liverpool plan Trez bid
Wednesday 21 February, 2007
Liverpool Coach Rafa Benitez has admitted that Juventus striker David Trezeguet is on the Reds’ shopping list.
The Bianconero is currently contracted with the Turin club until 2008, but is expected to quit the Old Lady at the end of the season after a year in Serie B.
The Frenchman has made no secret of the fact that he is pondering an exit and the lure of joining a Champions League club may just be too tempting.
“We are following many players,” Benitez stated. “Several of those are in Italy and Trezeguet is one of them.”
However, contrasting reports in France claim that Trezeguet is more likely to be playing in Ligue 1 next term.
The international has allegedly already spoken with French champions Lyon and has reached an agreement in principle with the giants.
Should Liverpool miss out on Trezeguet, they then call turn their attention to his Juve teammate Valeri Bojinov.
Nevertheless, Juve have first option to buy the player for £4m at the end of the season seeing as he is only on loan with the Old Lady from Fiorentina.
It’s unclear at this stage whether the Bulgarian will be kept given his lack of use by Didier Deschamps this term.
