Giovinco could be on his way to the Premier League.
Juventus striker Sebastian Giovinco could become an Arsenal or Liverpool player this summer after falling out of favour in Turin, according to the Daily Express.
The 27-year-old’s current contract with the Serie A champions expires in 2015 and Juve may look to make some money on the Italian this year rather than losing him on a free transfer in 12 months time.
Giovinco has found first team opportunities hard to come by in 2013/14, with manager Antonio Conte preferring the partnership of Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez in attack.
With Mirko Vucinic already at the Juventus Stadium and the imminent arrival of both Didier Drogba and Pablo Osvaldo, this situation is only going to get worse for the forward.
Gionvinco’s goalscoring has suffered as a result, with the Italy international managing just three strikes in 30 matches this term.
Yet both the Gunners and the Reds are considering giving the attacker a way out of La Bianconeri with a switch to the Premier League.
The north Londoners are desperate for support in the final third, with manager Arsene Wenger admitting too much reliance has been paid to Olivier Giroud this campaign.
With Nicklas Bendtner expected to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, Giovinco would join Giroud and Yaya Sanogo as attacking options.
Meanwhile at Anfield, Brendan Rodgers is preparing for the Merseysiders’ return to the Champions League after a five year absence and is looking to strengthen the squad as a result.
Giovinco would have to compete with the lethal ‘SAS’ partnership of Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez for a place in the starting XI however.
