Juventus are looking to sign Liverpool trio of Rafael Benitez, Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano in the summer.
According to a report in Italian publication Il Corriere Dello Sport, communication channels have already been opened with the Reds manager and his players.
The paper claims that Juventus vice general director Roberto Bettega contacted Benitez when he travelled to London for the Europa league match between Fulham and Juventus last week.
The Turin club has endured a poor season so far. Coach Ciro Ferrara was sacked after a run of nightmare results and although there was a brief revival under new coach Alberto Zaccheroni, the team has slipped again in recent weeks.
They lost to Fulham in the Europa league despite arriving at Craven Cottage with a 3-1 lead from the first leg. Their Serie A form has dipped as well, with one point to show from their last two outings.
Zaccheroni's men are now sixth in the league table after their weekend 1-0 reverse against Sampdoria.
Benitez was already linked with the club when Ferrara was sacked and with Liverpool in turmoil, a big question mark hangs over his Anfield future.
The offer would be more tempting to Benitez, Torres and Mascherano if Liverpool fail to qualify for next season's Champions League and Juventus do.
