Juventus will make a major bid for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in the summer.

Armed with the cash from their deal with Mediaset, Juve are preparing an offer for midfielder Gerrard following demands from coach Fabio Capello.

Gerrard only signed a new deal last summer after rejecting a move to Chelsea.

The Mail on Sunday says Capello has told Juve's board he will only consider staying on beyond this season if they show their ambition by making a serious move for Gerrard.

Capello is concerned over the aging legs of Emerson and sees Gerrard as the ideal man to succeed the Brazilian as Patrick Vieira's long-term partner in Juve's midfield.

The skipper is indeed indispensable to Reds.

If Stevie were really to leave, i believe Reds wud juz be like gunners without pratick viera..

Over our dead body .

If Chelsea willing to pay 50 million pounds for 30-yr-old Andrei Shevchenko , what u think Gerrard will cost Juventus ?

If ever ..... Gerrard are keen to a move to Turin , it will be a world record .

Nothing will happen , Gerrard going nowhere .

Juventus to offer mega deal for Liverpool skipper Gerrard
tribalfootball.com - March 1, 2006

Juventus are putting together the final details of a mega offer for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Juve coach Fabio Capello wants to ditch his 4-4-2 formation, which has limited his plans in Europe this season, for a 4-3-3 system which would see Gerrard in combination with Patrick Vieira and Emerson in midfield.

Capello has convinced Juve's board to make a concrete move for Gerrard which will involve an £18 million cash offer plus defender Jonathan Zebina to be tabled to Liverpool before the end of this season.
