Juventus Seek Cut-Price €11.5m Deal For Liverpool Flop Alberto Aquilani

Juventus will seek to profit from Liverpool's financial troubles by sealing a cut-price €11.5 (£10) million deal for Alberto Aquilani in the January transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

The 26-year-old Italy midfielder, who made just 18 starts with the Reds since his £18m move from Roma last year, joined Juve on a season-long loan in the summer.

A permanent £16m move has been discussed, but Juve sense an opportunity to lower the price and are ready to negotiate it down to around £10m. They may also make an approach for defender Glen Johnson if they fail to prise Gregory van der Wiel away from Ajax.

Liverpool’s former Ajax winger Ryan Babel could be leaving in a swap deal for Valencia star Juan Mata, as revealed by Goal.com, as the Anfield club seek to wheel-and-deal in the market as debts threaten to consume the club.

However, Liverpool's fortunes may change imminently with reports suggesting at least three groups are interesting in taking over the club with the potential to wipe out the clubs estimated £351.4m debt.
