Liverpool target Keita Baldé Diao is believed to be holding out for a move to Serie A champions Juventus.
The Express, who cite Italian outlet Calcio Mercato claim that the Reds will face a tough task in trying to sign the player this summer.
Liverpool had been rumoured with a summer move for Keita, who is expected to leave Lazio after an impressive season.
The Serie A have accepted that they need to sell the player this summer with Keita having only 12 months left to run on his current deal.
With Lazio asking for just £26 million for the winger, the Reds had identified Keita as a cheaper alternative to Mohamed Salah, who is being linked with a £35 million to Anfield.
Keita has now reportedly agreed on personal terms ahead of a summer switch to Juventus, who will look to strengthen again during the transfer window as they look to continue their dominance in Italy.
