Juventus Confident Of Capturing Suarez

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is a target for Italian champions Juventus.

According to reports in Turin, the Uruguayan is available at the right price — despite a promise from Brendan Rodgers during the week that Suarez is not for sale.

The player himself has also said he is happy at Anfield and in the summer he signed a new contract that tripled his salary to £120,000-a-week and tied him to the club until 2016.

Juventus are believed to have had an enquiry for Suarez rejected in the summer.

But they are planning to return again in January and believe he could be prised away from Liverpool if the Merseysiders get a healthy profit on the £22.8million fee they paid Ajax for his services in January 2011.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has denied claims that he wants to take Suarez to the Etihad.

But Juve are determined to test Liverpool’s resolve over a striker they would value at £50m.
