Juventus join Liverpool in £15m pursuit
Liverpool face tough competition from Juventus to sign highly rated Bologna striker Gaston Ramirez in January, according to talkSPORT this morning.
The Uruguayan playmaker has impressed for Bologna so far this season scoring three times for a side on the brink of the relegation places in Serie A and Kenny Dalglish has been a long term admirer. Ramirez caught the eye of Europe’s top clubs last year but interest has fallen away since this season began.
The £15million rated playmaker; broke into the Uruguay national side last year but missed out on the country’s successful Copa America tournament last summer and his omission from that squad has prompted him to look for a new club. Ramirez is looking to sign for one of Europe’s top clubs and Liverpool would certainly fit the bill.
Dalglish is looking to fellow countrymen Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates to nudge Ramirez in the direction of Merseyside as he looks to bolster his shallow strike force. Suarez is facing a lengthy suspension and Andy Carroll is struggling to find any form so the competition would be welcomed.

Serie A league leader Juventus are also looking at the Uruguayan and they will have the perfect opportunity to run the rule over the forward as the Old Lady take on Bologna in tonight’s Coppa Italia quarter final in Turin.
