Juventus are prepared to fight until the end to land Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud. The 20-year-old, who is also a target for Premier League side Liverpool, has yet to commit his future to the Bundesliga side, despite claims by the club that they have no intention to part with their highly-rated Syrian born German international. Tuttosport reveals that the bianconeri will lie in wait until the end of the season to try to get their man.
 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is reported to be trying to make a blitz on Germany in the January window to try to tie up the deal and has the backing of his club bosses to try to match the €34 million that PSG reportedly offered last summer that was ultimately rejected by the Bundesliga side.
