Juventus Prepare Bid For Unhappy Fernando Torres

Juventus are reportedly planning a move to sign Liverpool striker Fernando Torres in the summer. Bianconeri boss Luigi Delneri is keen on bringing the Spaniard to the club but will find it tough to persuade the Merseyside club to sell one of their prized assets.

The Serie A side’s main attacking threats, with the exception of Fabio Quagliarella, are nearing the end of their careers with the likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Amauri aged 36, 31 and 30 respectively and the Turin side are planning major summer additions to help make the Old Lady of Italian football into genuine title chasers.

26 year old Fernando Torres is reportedly not very happy with life at Anfield but the recent sacking of Roy Hodgson may improve his mood and help the usually prolific striker get back in the swing of things. The former Atletico Madrid man has only netted six goals from 18 Premier League starts but his overall record on Merseyside, 78 goals from 131 starts, shows just crucial he is to the club’s chances of success.

Juventus are ready to make an offer in the region of £45m and are also looking to sign current loan Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani on a permanent deal with the Italian international having a great season at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
