Liverpool Boss Benitez Sets Dossena Price For Juventus


After a disappointing campaign with Liverpool, it seems that coach Rafa Benitez no longer considers defender Andrea Dossena a necessary component of the squad. The Spanish boss has revealed the price the left-back will cost any interested suitors, notably Juventus.

"Dossena is worth £6 million," which would convert to about approximately €7 million, according to Tuttosport.

Bianconeri sporting director Alessio Secco has already confirmed that the club are looking for a full-back and claims that "the name of Dossena is not a risk."

Dossena himself has already expressed that he is flattered by the consideration of the Turin giants.

"The interest of a great team like Juventus can only make me happy, this affair seems to be a good starting point. I've explained to my agent, Federico Pastorello, that I hope a deal can be realised, but all three parties must be in agreement," he concluded.

The Italian left-back is currently on international duty in South Africa at the Confederations Cup.
