Juventus president Blanc to meet with reps for Liverpool’s Benitez

Juventus are set for talks with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez's representatives today.

La Stampa says Juve have settled on either Claudio Gentile or Alberto Zaccheroni as a firefighter to the end of the season before moving for Benitez in the summer.

Zacc has moved ahead of Gentile in Juve's planning. Gentile held talks with directors yesterday, but they were unimpressed by his demands.

Meanwhile, Juve president Jean-Claude Blanc will meet with Benitez's lawyers this morning. He hopes to convince Benitez about an immediate move to Turin, but is prepared to wait until the summer to land the Spaniard.
