Juventus are ready to unveil new plans in a bid to tempt Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez into joining them by giving him an €80 million transfer allowance for the summer.
Il Corriere dello Sport reports the Spaniard would be guaranteed a major cash injection to use on rebuilding the team for next season, meaning he would be able to bring Javier Mascherano and Fernando Torres with him. Both the midfielder and the striker have been linked with Juve.
Alberto Zaccheroni is expected to leave in June, and the club have just over a month to convince Benitez. But, conflicting reports from Tuttosport on Monday suggested Juve had gievn the Reds gaffer a week to make a decision.
Furthermore, failure to qualify for the Champions League could force the club to reconsider its decision over grandiose spending schemes.
Meanwhile, Claudio Marchisio has returned to training following a knee problem he sustained against Inter. He should be fit for the weekend clash with Bari.
