Juventus plot Christian Benteke swoop?

Liverpool frontman Christian Benteke has reportedly been added to Juventus's list of summer transfer targets.

It is believed that the Italian champions are eager to secure the services of a long-term replacement for Mario Mandzukic, who will turn 30 in May.

According to The People, Juve officials were recently alerted by Benteke's potential availability at the end of the season.

The Belgium international joined the Merseysiders from Aston Villa for £32.5m last July, but he has struggled to force his way into the starting lineup at Anfield on a regular basis.

It has been claimed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is prepared to sell the 25-year-old, but only if an offer in the region of £25m is received.
