Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini could be on his way to Liverpool after stating that the Bianconeri have neglected him.
The former Italy Under-21 captain claims that he is worried about his future in Serie A and is waiting for club officials to clarify their plans.
“No one has called me or tried to contact me,” he revealed. “They have focused on renewing the contracts of the important players and this is logical.
“However, they haven’t considered the players who gave their all to bring the team back to the First Division. I believe I might risk playing only 30 per cent of next year’s matches and I cannot agree to this.
“I have plenty of opportunities, but I only hope someone will call me to explain what the plan is. Unfortunately no one has done this so far.”
Reports in Italy suggest that Liverpool have offered £5m for the defender, although it is understood that the Old Lady value him at £7m.
The Premiership club is focusing on Chiellini after the deal to bring Manchester United left-back Gabriel Heinze – a former Juventus target – to Anfield stalled.

My personal comment: This left back is highly rated....although some of you might not heard of him before, I actually found him when I was playing Championship Manager 2007. Definately a good investment for the longer term.
