Fiorentina Monitor Aquilani

Alberto Aquilani's long-term future at Liverpool remains shrouded in doubt as Fiorentina continues to monitor his situation.

The 27-year-old returned back from a season-long loan with Juventus last term after the Italian club failed to match Liverpool's valuation of the midfielder.

Aquilani has been impressive in pre-season for the Reds and even drew praise from owner John W Henry.

Henry described the playmaker as "our missing link last year" after his performance against a Malaysia XI.

But a return to Italy remains a possibility, although his agent is keen to hear Liverpool's plans for the player before a decision is made on his fate.

"We must still talk with Fiorentina and Liverpool," Franco Zavaglia told the Adnkronos agency.

"Aquilani is still a Liverpool player. We need to talk to them to see what their plans are for the new season and then we will see.

"We are evaluating the situation with both parties before we make any decision."
