Liverpool Interested In D'Agostino, Juventus Are In Pole Position - Udinese Director

According to Udinese sporting director Sergio Gasperin, Liverpool are keeping an eye on midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino, but he is still likely to sign for Juventus.

"I can confirm the interest of the foreign club [Liverpool], but these are only inquiries, there is nothing concrete," he told tuttomercatoweb.

However, he was quick to point out that the Bianconeri still had the upper hand in negotiations for the player.

"Juventus is absolutely still in pole position and the deal could pick up again in the next few hours. We are working on the economic aspects," he continued.

"Udinese want €18 million, while Juventus have bid €15m, so the difference has been made up and there is optimism among the parties involved."

Previously, it was believed that Juventus had only offered €12m, thus causing negotiations to break down.

D'Agostino had a breakout season at the Stadio Friuli, scoring 11 goals and grabbing eight assists in Serie A in 2008-09. He also earned his first cap for the Italian national team, playing in a 3-0 win over Northern Ireland in early June.
