Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is set to reject a move to Juventus.

After giving Benitez until tomorrow to make a decision, Juventus are ready to look to bring back former player and coach Didier Deschamps from Marseille after being hit by a compensation demand from Liverpool believed to be £10m.

A source close to the Italian club told the Sunday Mirror: "Juventus feel they have gone as far as they can to bring Benitez to Italy.

"The latest obstacle is compensation. Time is starting to run out."

Liverpool believe Juve's bid to prise Benitez away has been driven by his agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon.

The Spaniard has four years left on his contract and it would have cost co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett £16million to sack him.
