Carlos Tevez nearing Liverpool switch?

Carlos Tevez is reportedly close to joining Liverpool this summer with Juventus believed to be looking for a replacement.

The striker was said to be destined for Atletico Madrid before heading back to his native Argentina the season after next.

However, Tuttomercatoweb claims that Liverpool are leading the race for the ex-Manchester United frontman.

It is thought that the Bianconieri have already scouted possible replacements for Tevez, with Mario Mandzukic and Edinson Cavani among the candidates.

Tevez played in Juventus's 3-1 Champions League Final defeat at the hands of Barcelona in Berlin on Saturday.
