Liverpool Defender Andrea Dossena Wants ‘New Life’ At Juventus


Andrea Dossena moved to Liverpool from Udinese last summer, but he has failed to adapt to the Premier League and hopes that Serie A giants Juventus will hand him a lifeline.

“I have talked to [Rafael] Benitez. He is a wonderful person and has understood my problem,” Dossena explained in Tuttosport.

“He told me that if they receive an offer that satisfies both the club and me, he will facilitate my transfer. I would run to Juve. They showed interest in me last year, but then Liverpool stepped in and wrapped things up in less than an hour.”

The 27-year-old has found his first team opportunities limited at Anfield and revealed that he has struggled to come to terms with the Reds’ training methods.

“In England they play continuously and the hardest training session does not last more than 40 minutes, but I need to train longer,” he explained.

“Now I truly hope to join Juve and start a new life.”

Liverpool paid €11 million for his services, however, the Old Lady are confident that a €7m bid will be enough to lure him to the Stadio Olimpico.
