AC Milan Pull Plug On Aquilani Deal

AC Milan have given up their pursuit of Liverpool misfit Alberto Aquilani, according to reports in Italy.

The Rossoneri were keen on a deal for the Italy international, who spent last season on loan at Juventus, but it is understood that Milan are not willing to pay his high wages.

It has also been suggested that the San Siro side only wanted the 27-year-old on loan, while Liverpool were keen to sell him on to recoup some of the £20m they paid Roma for him in 2009.

And, having ended their interest in Aquilani, Milan has now turned their attentions to Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo and is lining up a £10m offer.
