Italian playmaker set for Liverpool reprieve

Published on July 4, 2012 by Alex Hams · 8 Comments

Alberto Aquilani looks set to return to Liverpool after failing to secure a move away from the club, according to reports from SkySports News.

The Italian midfielder spent last season on loan at AC Milan, but the San Siro club opted not to take up an option to make the move permanent.

Aquilani only arrived at Liverpool in 2009 but has suffered with string of niggling injuries since his £20m switch from AS Roma.

It is believed that the playmaker is looking to get his career with the Merseyside giants back on track following the arrival of new boss, Brendan Rodgers.

“At the moment Aquilani is a Liverpool player and will certainly start pre-season training with them, then we’ll see what happens,” agent Franco Zavaglia told journalists.

“The new manager will decide whether to keep him or not. I don’t think he’s coming back to Italy and he hasn’t expressed any particular preference, but this time I hope Liverpool can tell us in time if he’s not part of their plans so we can find him the right club.

“Recently, apart from a slight ankle sprain, Aquilani has had no major fitness problems. The real problems were when he had ankle surgery at Liverpool.”

LFC don’t need to collect back flops players like Alberto Aquilani and Joe Cole.It is very worst to keep and play both of them. Lazy on the field.
