Dossena ‘œnostalgic for Italy’

Liverpool full-back Andrea Dossena’s agent has upped the speculation surrounding a summer exit from Merseyside for the 27-year-old.

Dossena has struggled to adjust to life in English football since he was signed for £6m from Udinese last summer and reports recently have suggested Serie A giants Juventus may offer him a plane ticket home.

But Dossena is contracted with Liverpool until 2012, though his agent is open to cutting that short.

“If Juventus decide to target my client then we would evaluate the offer,” said Roberto La Florio.

“He is happy at Liverpool but Juventus is Juventus, and he’s a little nostalgic for Italy.”

He added, however, that no move has been made by Juventus yet and they are deciding between Dossena and Lyon’s Fabio Grosso.
