Juventus to splash out big for Liverpool's Gerrard - March 22, 2006
Juventus director general Luciano Moggi is seeking talks with Liverpool officials over midfielder Steven Gerrard.
Moggi will take advantage of Juve's Champions League clash with Arsenal to schedule a meeting in London with Liverpool representatives to discuss Gerrard's availability.
Juve coach Fabio Capello wants Gerrard for next season and Moggi is prepared to use a large chunk of the cash generated from their TV deal with Mediaset to convince Liverpool to sell.
Juve are also willing to include defender Jonathan Zebina in the deal, but are well aware straight cash could clinch Gerrard's signing with Liverpool struggling to attract new investors.
