AC Milan keen to tie up deal for Liverpool misfit
Posted Tuesday, May 29, 2012 by Talksport.co.uk
AC Milan are trying to force down the price of Liverpool outcast Alberto Aquilani, according to reports in Italy.
The midfielder spent the season on loan at the San Siro side and they are keen on securing a permanent deal for the 27-year-old.
But, according to Italian TV station Mediaset, the Serie A side believes Liverpool's £7m valuation is too much for a player they have shipped out on loan for the last two seasons and has made just 18 league appearances since he joined in 2009.
Milan would have been forced into buying the former Roma man if they had played him in 25 games in the Italian top flight but he featured in just 23 and is set to return to Anfield where he has never managed to settle.
Aquilani joined the Merseyside club on a five-year-deal costing £17m but injuries did not help his transition and he does not look likely to be part of their long-term plans unless the club's next manager convinces him to stay and fight for his place.
