    Another player who did well in the U-21 euros. Good attacking left back. If we dont get Heinze he might be a good option

    Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini could be on his way to Liverpool after stating that the Bianconeri have neglected him.

    The former Italy Under-21 captain claims that he is worried about his future in Serie A and is waiting for club officials to clarify their plans.

    “No one has called me or tried to contact me,†he revealed. “They have focused on renewing the contracts of the important players and this is logical.

    “However, they haven’t considered the players who gave their all to bring the team back to the First Division. I believe I might risk playing only 30 per cent of next year’s matches and I cannot agree to this.

    “I have plenty of opportunities, but I only hope someone will call me to explain what the plan is. Unfortunately no one has done this so far.â€

    Reports in Italy suggest that Liverpool have offered £5m for the defender, although it is understood that the Old Lady value him at £7m.

    The Premiership club are focusing on Chiellini after the deal to bring Manchester United left-back Gabriel Heinze – a former Juventus target – to Anfield stalled.

    Chellini is a good player, don't think Juventus will let him leave but the Heinze deal is still on. If he buys out his contract we have some chance in getting him.

    Anyone know much about him?
    Cant see many people havin seen him bar against England in the u-21's, since he has just 6 caps and Juve were Seire B last season.

    I seen him in the U21 tournament. Hes a very strong and brave defender who loves to go forward. He reminded me of Zambrotta but obviously not as good.

    Insua is meant to be having a great U20 tournament in Canada so I dont see the reason why we need another promising left full.
