TalkSport: Reds back in for Dutch ace

Liverpool could be back in for Eljero Elia after the Dutchman's decision to leave Juventus.

Elia moved to Juventus in the summer but has struggled to settle following his switch from Hamburg.

He has failed to command a regular place in the side and, with his contract still having three years to run, he wants out.

Juventus, recently crowned Serie A champions, are are still unbeaten in the league and will not stand in Elia's way.

Liverpool were keen on the 25-year-old before he opted for Italy but they may get a second chance to land him considering his desire to leave.

"I want to leave Juventus. I want to enjoy playing football again. I remained quiet all year and was always positive towards the club and the team, but I never got a chance to prove my worth," Elia told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.

"I didn't play much and consequently miss out on Euro 2012. It's fair to say this season has been a failure. It's really hurt me, but I've become stronger mentally.

"I'm 25 now and I still have a long career ahead of me. I came from far, but I will have to start all over again."
