Premiership - Chiellini wants Reds move
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini would be interested in a move
to Liverpool, according to the Italy Under-21 captain's
agent.
Reds manager Rafael Benitez is thought to be eyeing the youngster
with a view to making a swoop should a deal for first choice target
Gabriel Heinze fall through.
Agent Davide Lippi said: "It is obvious that if there are limited
first-team opportunities next season, then other options will have
to be investigated.
"I am sure if something official came from Liverpool, it would be a
tempting solution."
Reports in the Italian media on Tuesday suggested Liverpool had
tabled a £5 million offer for the 22-year-old, but the Bianconeri
are believed to be holding out for a figure nearer £7
million.
Heinze's move to Liverpool is currently being blocked by his club
Manchester United, who are loathe to let him go to their bitter
rivals, but the Argentinian defender could yet make the move if a
£6 million deal is agreed.
