The Italians have been long-term admirers of the 30-year-old and
believe he can be a hit in Serie A.
But his close relationship with Rafa Benitez has put them off
launching a bid for the forward Liverpool paid Feyenoord £10milion
for in 2006.
Juve now believe the mayhem at Anfield could open the door for
them to make a move for Kuyt though.
They expect Benitez to quit in summer, possibly even moving to
Turin, and feel his departure would make it easier to persuade Kuyt
to quit.
Co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks will also be happy to
off-load players to help ease the £237m debt they accrued in buying
the club.
The lower that figure gets the easier it will be to sell
Liverpool.
And Kuyt is one of the few saleable assets whose departure would
not leave the Kop baying for blood.
