Italian club Juventus are believed to be planning a swoop for Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez. The Old Lady are believed to be set to try and lure the Spaniard to Turin as his future at Anfield continues to be clouded.

Benitez's agent, Manuel Garcia Quillon, was non-committal when asked about the potential shift but did keep the door open by saying anything was a possibility.

"Benitez to Juventus? In football you never know. I don't know what will happen in four to five months. In football everything changes quickly," he said.

"The basic principal is that Rafa still has a four-year contract with Liverpool. At this precise moment the idea is not correct, because he is a very important figure to the Liverpool fans - the idols of the fans are Gerrard, Torres, and Benitez. But you never know what will happen."

Juve have insisted that current boss Ciro Ferrara will lose his job this week after the club fell to sixth on the Serie A table following a loss to Roma on the weekend.
