Juventus are set to make a decision on Andrea Dossena by next week, according to the player’s agent.
The 27-year-old Liverpool left back has failed to live up to expectations after his £7 million move from Udinese, and he has been linked with a move back to his homeland with Juve.
And while Juve are also considering a move for Lyon’s Fabio Grosso, agent Roberto La Florio feels there is a good chance Dossena will move to the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
"I don't know if you can call it an ultimatum, but I think that Juve will decide what to do within the next week," he told Calcio Mercato.
"The left back position is a necessity for the Bianconeri and the directors are not willing to drag this on.
"However, I still think it's a two-horse race between Andrea and Grosso.
"Dossena's age and wages are on his side. Is he worth around €6 million to €7 million? The last time I met with Liverpool, we did not talk about numbers – I can only say they paid more for him last summer.
"Andrea has subtly expressed his desire to join Juve in recent days, but he also said that he loves it in Liverpool.
"We'll definitely know more about it next week and Juve remain the most likely destination for him."
