Chelsea and Liverpool are both interested in Juventus midfield legend Andrea Pirlo, according to reports in Italy.

Italian newspaper Tuttosport claim that the two Premier League clubs are interested in the vintage midfielder, 35, who has just a year remaining on his current deal and has suggested he may leave this summer.

Speaking earlier this week, Pirlo said: "Ending my Juventus story by pocketing the Champions League would be a dream come true.

"But I won't stop playing, I'll go on as long as I have the same great desire to keep training every day."

Pirlo was again excellent as Juventus beat Real Madrid in the first leg of the semi-final on Tuesday but the Italian has been heavily linked with a move to Major League Soccer.

The newspaper reports that Brendan Rodgers is especially keen as he seeks to replace departing club captain Steven Gerrard.
