Juventus Linked With Move For Liverpool Boss Benitez

Juventus want to hire Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as their new manager in the summer, according to reports in Italy.

Juve's title hopes are fading after three matches without a victory and the board are losing patience with boss Claudio Ranieri, claims today's Il Giornale.

Chief executive Jean Claude Blanc is desperate to land some silverware but has made the Champions League his top priority.

Blanc has been impressed by Benitez's excellent record in the competition and could take advantage of the fact contract talks between the Spaniard and Liverpool board have stalled.

However, no move for Benitez would take place until the summer.
