Juventus Keen On Liverpool's Glen Johnson

England international Glen Johnson could be on his way out of Premier League side Liverpool at the end of the season as struggling Serie A side Juventus have shown an interest in signing the full-back, The Daily Mirror reports.

La Vecchia Signora has been vulnerable defensively this season and are desperate to strengthen their back line in the summer transfer window.

The Turin giants have previously been linked with Hoffenheim's Andreas Beck for the position of right back, but they've now apparently turned their attention to Johnson instead.

Johnson started his professional career with West Ham United and also wore the jerseys of Millwall, Chelsea and Portsmouth before eventually joining Liverpool in the summer of 2009.

The full-back is reportedly looking for a new challenge and Juventus are ready to make a move for Johnson if he becomes available in June, with an offer in the region of €15 million required to lure him away from Liverpool.
