Liverpool's slim hopes of signing Ezequiel Lavezzi appear to have completely evaporated after news the Argentine prefers a move to Juventus.
Reports circulating in the Italian media claim the PSG wantaway is surplus to requirements and will force through a deal with Juventus in the near future.
Suggestions Lavezzi would be leaving the Parc des Princes emanated from Laurent Blanc's ceaseless pursuit of Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria.
A pursuit that may finally be coming to a conclusion with a loan deal imminent.
Juventus have enjoyed a period of unrivalled success, marching to three successive Serie A titles - winning their last by a colossal 17 points.
But despite domestic supremacy they have failed to excel in the Champions League, typified by their first-round elimination at the hands of Galatasaray last season.
Meanwhile Liverpool have spent nearly £90m this summer on adding Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Emre Can, Lazar Markovic and Divock Origi - yet no striker to capable of emulating the 31-goal void left by Luis Suarez.
It's starting to appear Brendan Rodgers may not have had an ulterior motive to backing-out of a last minute deal for Loic Remy.
Instead, the Northern-Irishman must venture back into the transfer market without the option of buying Romelu Lukaku, Edinson Cavani, or Italy-bound Lavezzi.
