LIVERPOOL and Juventus representatives will be scouting Melbourne Victory winger Marco Rojas at AAMI Park in Saturday's blockbuster against Sydney FC.

The Herald Sun understands the two world football giants have tracked Rojas in recent weeks and want to watch him against Sydney FC before deciding whether to launch bids.

Should he impress, one or both could make offers for the 21-year-old as early as next week.

But Victory was confident of retaining Rojas for its finals assault this season.

Rojas, whose contract expires in three months, is managed by his father Rodi.

A January sale would command a transfer fee. If he left at the end of the season and doesn't sign a new deal, Victory wouldn't receive a transfer fee, but it would pocket around $180,000 in training compensation.

Should Liverpool or Juventus bid for Rojas before the transfer window closes on January 31, the clubs are looking at a fee in the region of the $750,000 Central Coast received from Celtic for Tom Rogic.

The pint-sized Kiwi has dominated this season with 10 goals and five assists from 15 games.

Juventus are deploying scouts, former players currently involved in the Italian giants' soccer academy in Melbourne.

BOOST: Del Piero to remain Down Under

Victory coach Ange Postecoglou claimed he was unaware of the specific interest but said he would be surprised if overseas clubs weren't keeping tabs on Rojas.

He said the club had remained in regular contact with the Rojas camp and was confident of keeping him until the end of the season.

"I'm in contact with his dad very regularly and at this stage we're confident he'll stay with us until the end of the season," Postecoglou said.

"We've been in constant discussion with Marco and from our point of view we're very happy with his form this season and how he's developing and his development is a priority.

"At this stage we're comfortable with how he's going and where things are at."

*LESS than 400 tickets remain for Alessandro Del Piero's first visit to Melbourne.

Fresh from his four-goal haul against Wellington Phoenix, Del Piero pulled up well and is a certain starter for Saturday's clash at AAMI Park.
