Juventus are keen to open
swap talks with Liverpool over
midfielder Xabi Alonso.
Juve came close to landing Xabi from Liverpool last summer and Gazzetta dello
Sport says they're ready to try again after seeing a deal for
Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino collapse this week.
The Bianconeri cannot match Liverpool's massive £35 million asking price for
Xabi, but hope to convince manager Rafa
Benitez by including players in their bid.
The prime pair to be offered to Benitez will be Danish
midfielder Christian Poulsen and star French striker David
Trezeguet.
