Juric, who will be looking for game time off the bench in the Socceroos' 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek, earlier this month rejected an offer from another Belgium Pro League club, Lokeren.
Newly-crowned Belgian champion Genk and Mat Ryan's Club Brugge – which subsequently signed fellow Australian international Bernie Ibini instead – were also in the frame but pulled out at the eleventh hour.
Having turned down an eye-watering $10 million three-year deal to join Shanghai Shenhua in January – with fellow Socceroos star Tim Cahill joining the Chinese Super League club instead – Juric’s pay package at Liege would be a far more modest $430,000 net per season.
It’s likely he would be far better remunerated by Championship side Hull where fellow forward Nikica Jelavic, who shares Juric’s Croatian heritage, is on the books but likely to leave the club now it has fallen out of the Premier League.
Belgian newspaper La Meuse claims that Juric is in talks with Standard after the club was reportedly snubbed by KV Kortrijk's Croatian forward Ivan Santini, who is tipped to sign for Genk.
Standard, which finished fourth in the Pro League this season, has strong Australian links with John Aloisi and Aurelio Vidmar both having had spells there.
Former Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Michael Turnull also spent a season with the club.
Standard, which rates third in terms of popularity and prestige behind the big two of Anderlecht and Club Brugge, boasts 10 domestic league titles and six Belgian cups.
Juric, who parted ways with Western Sydney Wanderers at the end of the A-league season, managed 12 goals in 34 games and will be looking for some game time in Bishkek, where he has been named on the bench, with coach Ange Postecoglou preferring a front three of Nathan Burns, Tim Cahill and James Troisi.
