Juve confirm Reds Poulsen interest

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed Liverpool's interest in Christian Poulsen.

The 30-year-old defensive midfielder was left out of the side as the Italian giants beat Shamrock Rovers 2-0 in Europa League qualifying on Thursday.

Poulsen, who played for Denmark in their three World Cup games, has been linked with a move to Merseyside for most of the summer.

With Javier Mascherano heading towards an Anfield exit, Liverpool will seek a replacement and Marotta  said: "Liverpool have shown interest in Poulsen. But the fact that he did not play in this game (against Shamrock) is only due to a technical decision."
