Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is eyeing a move for Juventus striker Amauri. Sky Italia says Hodgson is a big fan of the Brazilian-born Italy international and believes he would be a success in English football.
Juve are aware of the interest and are waiting for Liverpool to make a formal approach to open negotiations.
The Bianconeri will take advantage of the talks to discuss the prospect of Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson being included in a swap offer.
Reds football chief Damien Comolli is scheduled for transfer talks with his Juventus counterpart Fabio Patrici in the coming days.
Alberto Aquilani's future will be on the agenda, but Amauri and Johnson will also be discussed.
