Liverpool Target Gonzalo Higuain Linked With Juventus Move

Liverpool striker target Gonzalo Higuain is being linked with a January move to Italy.

The Argentine international has been heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid, with Kenny Dalglish reported to have taken an interest in the 24-year-old.

However, Italian publication La Stampa is claiming that Juventus have made the player their 'top priority' in the New Year, with an opening bid of £24 million prepared for the former River Plate starlet.

As for Liverpool, their interest has gone relatively cold in the player following their initial link to the player in The Metro back in August.

Speculation again surfaced over a possible Reds move in October, with Spanish radio station Cadena Ser claiming Liverpool were considering a New Year offer for the player.

With the Blues and Bianconeri now in the running for the player, Liverpool appear the least likely to make a move, although they are relatively short in the striking department at Anfield with only Luis Suarez, Andy Carroll and Dirk Kuyt amongst the senior ranks.
