Italian sports daily Tuttosport claims that Liverpool are set to make a surprise move for out-of-favour Juventus stopper Jean-Alain Boumsong.
Tuttosport has claimed that Liverpool are set to pounce for Juventus stopper Jean-Alain Boumsong.
The French international centre-back is out of favour at the Old Lady and, with the arrival of the likes of Jorge Andrade over the summer, his prospects in the first team are limited at best.
Recently, Boumsong has been linked with clubs ranging from Barcelona to Lyon. Predictably, none of the rumours have as yet come to fruition.
Boumsong himself has recently claimed that he forsees a stay at Juventus, saying, "I have Juve on my mind, ready to start the new season. I'm ready to work and looking forward to enjoying time on the pitch.
"There is a 99% chance that I will be at Juve after August 31."
But Tuttosport insisted that Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is set to look to the ex-Newcastle United defender to play stopgap after the injury to Jamie Carragher.
Neither club has confirmed the news at this time.

Boumsong would be a bad move for Benitez. Boumsound has already proven to be a bad defender, especially in the premiership. Sounds like this is more gossip, than anything..
I'd be VERY surpised if he did move though.:)
Oh well, looks like we missed out on this guy, would've only ever been a backup solution, Carra will be back soon though
