Italian giants Juventus intend to ask for Roberto Firmino should Liverpool pursue Adrien Rabiot. Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp is understood to be keen on adding a midfielder and has set his eyes on Rabiot.
Previous reports had mentioned that Liverpool were ready to offer Naby Keita in a straight swap deal. Juventus are, however, not interested in the Guinean.
The Liverpool Echo reports that Rabiot is looking to leave Turin this summer. Apart from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are the other clubs interested in the 27-year-old.

Firmino's place in the Liverpool squad could come under serious jeopardy after the club completed the signing of Darwin Nunez from Benfica. Last season he was also used sparingly as injuries curtailed his season. Sadio Mane, who has since moved to Bayern Munich, was often deployed in his role.
Juventus, meanwhile are in dire need of attacking reinforcements. Alvaro Morata has returned to his parent club Atletico Madrid while Paulo Dybala left at the end of the season following the expiry of his contract.
Klopp is seemingly planning to revamp his midfield as he aims to once again toe-to-toe with Manchester City, who are zeroing in on Kalvin Phillips.
Liverpool are also looking at Inter Milan's Nicolo Barella
Sports Brief had also reported that Jurgen Klopp is ready to go all-in and sign Nicolo Barella from Inter Milan. Klopp wants to improve his midfield as he prepares for another battle with Manchester City for the Premier League title.
