Liverpool interested in €30m Juventus target, ex-Barca prodigy

Liverpool interested in €30m Juventus target, ex-Barca prodigy

Liverpool are fishing in Rome for another star African winger, ESPN confirm.
 
With the Reds being linked to former Chelsea man Mohamed Salah, the New England outlet confirms that they have also been sniffing around Keita Balde, a former Barcelona academy player now lighting things up at Lazio.  
 
It appears, however, that Keita likes the idea of moving to Juventus, with a host of Serie A clubs also giving chase. Manchester United have also been linked to him.
 
The 22-year-old has been on fire recently, book-ending a disappointing middle stretch of the season by scoring a total of 15 Serie A goals.
 
He has been chased by Juventus and Manchester United, the former especially interested in using the expiry of the Senegalese star’s deal (in 2018) as leverage to lower Lazio’s 30 million price tag.
 
Juventus are expected to meet with Lazio again this week, and they want to leverage the fact that Keita likes Juventus more than his other options, which include AC Milan and Inter.
