Benitez Will Take Kuyt, Skrtel & Babel When He Leaves Liverpool For Juventus

Turin based newspaper Tuttosport reports today that if Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez moves to Juventus in the summer, he will try and sign Dirk Kuyt, Martin Skrtel and Ryan Babel for "The Old Lady."

Reports this morning suggest that officials from Juventus are set to travel to Liverpool tomorrow to discuss the future of Rafa Benitez.

The meeting tomorrow is expected to be the first of many discussions between Benitez and the Serie A giants, the Spanish manager is eager to be given assurances that he will have money to spend and is expected to raid Liverpool in the summer.

Dirk Kuyt will be Benitez’s main target. The Dutch forward has been in impressive form in recent weeks, scoring three goals in his last three games and his contract at Liverpool expires at the end of season 2011/2012.

Benitez will also return for Martin Skrtel, who has been solid in defence this season and Ryan Babel who Tuttosport claim would be a "bargain." No mention is made in the Italian paper of the reported bust-ups between the Liverpool boss and the former Ajax winger in recent weeks.
