Dossena join Anfield for £7 million in July 2008
Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena is hoping to leave the club during the January transfer window in order to secure his place in the Italy World Cup squad.
The former Udinese full-back had been the subject of rumours linking him with a move back to his home country during the summer, though none of the potential transfers came to fruition.
Dossena believes he is still wanted by a handful of Serie A super-powers though, as he looks for regular first team football.
"I know that three big Serie A clubs - Napoli, Juventus and Milan - are looking at me," he told the News of the World.
"In August they just made other choices. I was very close to going to Juventus in the summer but they signed Fabio Grosso.
"I am now worried I will miss the World Cup."
The left-back has featured sparingly for Liverpool since arriving at Anfield in 2008, but has no complaints regarding manager Rafael Benitez or his time spent at the club, admitting he only had himself to blame for not holding down a place in the starting XI.
He added, "I'm not disappointed with the treatment I've had.
"I know how things work and I've always behaved correctly. Benitez chooses the line-up, and I'm paid to respect his choices.
"In truth I am a little bit unhappy with my performances. They have not seen the 'real' Dossena at Anfield."

The agent of Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena has revealed that his client wants to return to Serie A during the winter transfer window.
The former Udinese player moved to Liverpool in the summer of 2008, but has not settled in at Anfield and has been sparsely used by coach Rafa Benitez. He was excluded from the squad's Champions League list for the current campaign and has only made one substitute appearance in the Premier League.
"I have spoken plenty, but officially there is nothing yet. The market opens in January. The will of Andrea to return to Italy is now clearly established," said Roberto La Florio to RadioKissKiss.
"At Liverpool, he was not given a lot of space, also for physical reasons. This summer there was every reason for him to move to Napoli, but [previous sporting director] Pierpaolo Marino did not act."
There is also speculation that Roma are interested in obtaining the player.
"I haven't had any direct contact. I hope Liverpool will consider giving up Dossena on loan with a right to purchase, he wants to regain his place [in the Italy squad] for the World Cup," he concluded.
cant believe he is an italian international.
he ok one luh, but just dont suit the way liverpool plays.
and yes, im backing him to go back
