The Norwegian left-back is uncertain of his future at Anfield, having fallen out of favour with manager Rafa Benitez over the last two seasons.

With Fabio Aurelio establishing himself as the Reds first choice on the left side of defence, and Andreas Dossena on the verge of joining from Udinese, Riise could well be shown the door this summer.

Many believe the 26-year-old’s fate was sealed during the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, when he headed into his own net in the first leg and was at fault for Didier Drogba’s winner in the second leg.

Aston Villa and Newcastle have expressed interest in the former Monaco man, but sources in Italy suggest Roma could nip in with a ₤5million bid.

Giallorossi boss Luciano Spalletti is keen strengthen his defensive options ahead of next season, having identified both full-back slots as the team's major weakness.

The 28-year-old only signed for Juve from Udinese last summer, and despite a good season, he was left increasingly frustrated at having largely been a substitute for the prolific David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero.

Iaquinta made just nine starts in Serie A all campaign, and the arrival of Amauri from Palermo, and the return of pocket dynamo Sebastian Giovinco from Empoli, has led him to decide that he must leave Turin.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is a huge admirer of Iaquinta, having successfully coached him at Udinese in the past, and believes he can be the man to give the Giallorossi more presence up-front.

The Corriere dello Sport says that Roma have opened talks with Juve for Iaquinta, but they have made it very clear that Alberto Aquilani will not be included in any deal.

A possible pawn in the move could be Amantino Mancini, who is certain to leave the Eternal City this summer as his contract has just one year left to run, and he is refusing to pen a fresh deal.
