Alberto Aquilani could be Liverpool’s replacement for Xabi Alonso, but Roma won’t part with him for less than £18m.
The Reds are looking at alternatives after Xabi Alonso reportedly requested a transfer to Real Madrid this week.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Rafa Benitez has already sent his men to ask Roma about Aquilani’s availability.
He recently penned a new contract with the club after a long saga in which he received interest from Juventus, Inter and Real Madrid.
However, Coach Luciano Spalletti hinted in his Press conference that it might not be the end of the transfer speculation.
“Having many midfielders, including Aquilani, it is possible we have a few too many players for that role.”
The 25-year-old Italian international has been beset by injuries in the last year, but is back to full fitness and ready for the new campaign.
If Liverpool want to prise the hometown boy from Roma, it will cost them at least £18m.
