It is certain however, that the Reds could do with Aquilani’s excellent passing range, combined with either the forward runs of Steven Gerrard or Raul Meireles, or perhaps the added threat of two wingers. Still, the choice will not be down the clubs, it will be down to the player himself, on whether he returns.
Aquilani and his agent have stated on more than one occasion that the preferred option is to stay in Italy. With Juventus less likely to bid for the player, it will perhaps be down to the two Milan clubs to fight it out, unless Aquilani can be persuaded to return. At least the Reds will not be held to ransom by one club’s apparent declaration of poverty in Juve, and they can at least get a good price for Aquilani if his departure is the only viable option.
Of course, it goes without saying that the Reds should not go anywhere below the 16million stated in the previous agreement with Juventus. There was talk of an £8million deal being in progress with Juve before Conte’s arrival as manager, and hopefully this deal is now dead in the water. What the future holds is anyone’s guess, but I would probably put a bet on Aquilani playing in the red and black of AC Milan next season.

keep him or swap him with momo sissoko don’t sell for less than 12m
It’s all a ploy to get him for cheap either they pay up or they can go to hell, i don’t mind having him back.
Rather then Sissokho id rather swap him for Krasic or Chiellini but i very much doubt the latter as hes in the 30 mill + bracket for Juve, but Krasic is a good player well liked by Rafa and Fergie and was linked with both before he joined Juve……YNWA……JFT96
hahahhaa…. what happen to prince aqua?
nothing to worry about this club.. we have around 200 – 250 team player value.. but another team must worry with LFC. They have a team value more then 300 m but we was beat this big 4 team.. i think if we get more around 30m from trade player and some cash injection from owner.. look what we can do.
