Liverpool face competition from Juventus for in-demand full-back
Liverpool are set for a summer transfer battle with Juventus for the services of Jonas Hector.
The full-back is expected to leave Cologne at the end of the season and a potential move to Anfield has been discussed.
The 27-year-old has been a long-standing target for Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp, but Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed Juve are keen to persuade the player to move to Italy.
The Serie A club are eager to boost their defensive options during the summer and they see Hector as the ideal replacement for Inter Milan bound Kwadwo Asamoah.
Hector joined Cologne from SV Auersmacher in 2010.
