Mauricio Isla is currently being courted by Juventus, Roma and Liverpool, according to the Udinese wing-back's agent.
The 23-year-old is expected to depart the Friuli outfit in the summer as part of the club's annual selling to balance the books and Leo Rodriguez, who represents the versatile performer's playing interests, has revealed three of Europe's biggest sides have expressed an interest in his client.
"I think he is being tracked by Liverpool and other Italian clubs like Juventus and Roma," Rodriguez told BK Sport.
"I'm not sure that these clubs have already initiated contacts with Udinese."
However, it is also understood that he will not come cheap, with the publication also claiming Liverpool already saw a bid of €15 million rejected by Udinese in January.
Isla is currently nursing a potential knee injury, suffered in the 2-1 defeat to AC Milan on Saturday, and now will face further examination on Sunday.
