Juventus to fight Liverpool for Kjaer

Juventus are ready to run the gauntlet for Palermo defender Simon Kjaer, but they face a major battle as Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all said to be keen on him, report Goal.com.

According to Tuttosport, the Old Lady has been monitoring the 20-year-old Danish international all season. 
 
Kjaer has excelled with his club for the last two campaigns and is likely to feature regularly for Denmark at the World Cup. The stopper has hinted he would like to join a major club, perhaps after the tournament in South Africa.
 
Sicilian side Palermo have now spoken of the apparent interest from the Bianconeri, but they have made it clear that English clubs are also after their man.
 
The Rosanero are clearly attempting to start a bidding auction.
 
"I have heard that Juventus and their observers have been watching Kjaer, but recently I have also read about an interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. In any case, Kjaer will not be leaving in January," said Walter Sabatini, the Palermo director.
