Serie A giants Juventus reportedly remain interested in striking up a deal for Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino, as Massimiliano Allegri looks to bolster his attacking options.
Firmino, 30, is under contract with the Reds until June 2023 and reports have suggested the Old Lady have submitted a bid worth up to £20million for his services.
According to Sports Witness, they claim it is the Brazilian's agent who is behind the 'building' of a deal - however the ECHO understands Liverpool have no appetite for allowing Firmino to leave during this summer transfer window.

The SW report, which cites an apparent 'exclusive' from Correire dello Sport, claims that Liverpool value Firmino at around €30m (£25m), but that rumoured price tag is apparently well above what Juventus are willing to pay.
The suggestions continue with: "It's Firmino’s agents, Rogon, who have been trying to build a deal and have therefore offered him to other clubs. This is similar to what happened when the player was looking for a way out of Hoffenheim. This time, Juventus has been ‘one of the very first choices’ for Rogon."
Keen to replace the departing Paolo Dybala who joined fellow Serie A side Roma just last week, Juve slumped to a fourth placed finish last season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League after a second half of the season revival.
New striker Dusan Vlahovic will look to hit the ground running during his first full campaign in Turin, whilst Moise Kean has started pre-season in fine form too.
With the Reds' stance seemingly clear, it remains to be seen Juventus may now look to explore other options.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has already confirmed the club's position on outgoings as the final month of the window approaches, telling Sky Sports recently: "If nobody wants to leave, we are done. Or if a bad injury comes in...I don't hope so. But Liverpool fans can now start focusing on other things."
