Aquilani can quit Liverpool for 6m GBP

AC Milan's on loan midfielder Alberto Aquilani can permanently be signed for a cut price fee of 6m GBP. It is understood Liverpool have already agreed a clause in the loan contract with Milan that is activated as soon as Aquilani plays 25 games in Serie A.

Aquilani failed to make an impression at Anfield in the past two seasons, and has been farmed out to AC Milan on loan this year.


"There is a buyout fee set at 6 million GBP and it is activated after 25 games," said Aquilani.


"I feel more assured. You can never say no to Milan. I have always had the hope of becoming a Rossoneri player.


"I did not expect to be bought by Juventus, the price set by Liverpool [€16 million] was too high. Juve was an opportunity and I have used it well.


"It was a critical step in my career as after Liverpool I needed to play continuously. Maybe if I had not gone to Juventus I would not be at AC Milan."
