There will be host of talent on display when Juventus take on Barcelona in Berlin this evening.

Liverpool have been linked with Juves Arturo Vidal in recent times as well as Barcelona forward Pedro.

But according to ESPNFC, it is Ogbonna who scouts will be monitoring this evening.

Ogbonna has struggled to win a place in Massimiliano Allegri's first-team plans for much of the season, with Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci all ahead of the 26-year-old in the pecking order.

But with Barzagli and Chiellini both potentially sidelined Ogbonna could be called up for the final.

Liverpool are keen to see how Ogbonna fares against the forward line of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez before deciding on a move.

Martin Skrtel dubbed the Reds latest contract offer unacceptable and Brendan Rodgers may be in the market for a new defender this summer if the Slovenian looks to move on.

West Ham are also thought to be sending scouts to Berlin to watch Ogbonna in action this evening.

Scouting report produced:
He looked really comfortable all night and didn't make any mistakes. Showed great patience and read the game well and was unfazed by the fearsome Barca triumvirate. Certainly wasn't at fault for any of the goals.

I think this MAY be lazy journalism ... We were linked with him last year before he moved to Juve ... Good solid CB. If we sell/lose Skittles, good pick up

He's another lefty though. Pass..

Of course he was "unfazed by Barça's fearsome triumvirate". He was on the bench for the whole game!

He was great for Torino a few years back.

But he is not at the level we require.

David Gold tweeted a picture of him when he welcomed Obiang to the club.... Ouch.
