Italian giants Juventus are ready to offer unsettled Liverpool striker Luis Suarez an escape route from the Premier League.

Juve general manager Giuseppe Marotta fears they are set to miss out on Arsenal's Robin van Persie, and is determined to go all out for Suarez, according to the Daily Mirror.

Uruguay hitman Suarez was on the Turin club's original list of big-name targets, along with Manchester City's Edin Dzeko.

Juventus fear van Persie has made up his mind not to move to Italy and have Suarez back in their sights.

But they are set to test the resolve of Liverpool and Suarez who was jeered while playing for his country at the London Olympics.

Suarez has become public enemy number one in the Premier League after being banned last season when an independent panel appointed by the FA found him guilty of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

Juventus are desperate to bolster their title winning squad and Suarez is now back on the agenda.
