Liverpool's desperation for a central defender has reportedly seen them turn to Jean-Alain Boumsong.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport claims that Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has made contact with Juventus about the former Newcastle defender.
Liverpool are currently without the services of Jamie Carragher and have no cover beyond Daniel Agger and Sami Hyypia.
Boumsong is currently on the books of Juventus but has been made available for transfer after their promotion to Serie A.
