Liverpool Poised To Lose Out On Perotti

Juventus are set to beat Liverpool to the signing of Argentine winger Diego Perotti.

It was thought that Kenny Dalglish had identified the Sevilla star as a contingency plan should his pursuit of Stewart Downing prove fruitless.

But reports in Spain have claimed that Liverpool, who are not prepared to pay more than £7.5m for the Argentinean, are now about to be trumped by Juve.

The Serie A side has submitted a £9m offer for the 22-year-old and is now awaiting a response from Sevilla.

But it is unclear whether Juve's bid will be enough to tempt the La Liga's side to sell because they hope to receive a fee closer to £14m for Perotti.
