Andrea Dossena

The Italian international was snapped up by the Reds this summer for €9m from Udinese, but has failed to settle in the Premier League and could make a swift comeback to Serie A during the January transfer window.

Earlier this month, the News of the World reported that coach Rafa Benitez has been unimpressed with the 27-year-old’s form and was ready to offload him.

According to the paper, Juventus are hot on his heels and could table a bid for the player in the new year.

The Old Lady were already linked with the Lodi native this summer, but he eventually opted to try his hand abroad.

However, the Corso Galileo Ferraris outfit might face stiff competition from the Giallorossi, who are also in the frame to reel him in, according to calciomercato.it.

Coach Luciano Spalletti’s men have endured a terrible start to the campaign and are expected to turn to the Calciomercato to revive their fortunes.

John Arne Riise has miserably flopped at the Stadio Olimpico so far, and the Romans could ironically try to land the man who replaced the Norwegian at Anfield.
