Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt could be heading to Serie A, with Italian giants Juventus reportedly targeting the Netherlands international.

According to the News of the World, manager Rafael Benitez is widely tipped to move to Turin this summer and Juve are speculated to have made enquiries as to the availability of Kuyt leaving Anfield as well.

The Reds have been reported to have recorded debts of up to £237 million, an astronomical sum which could force the club's hierarchy to look into the possibility of off-loading some of its star performers.

Since joining from Feyenoord for a £10m fee in 2006, Kuyt has impressed on Merseyside scoring 15 times last season. He's maintained that form this term as well, with 13 goals to his credit.

In addition to his fire-power, Kuyt has been applauded for his work-rate and tenacious attitude, meaning Liverpool will want to recoup as much of their outlay as possible from any possible summer transfer.
