Alberto Aquilani's Chances Of Liverpool Exit Boosted

Alberto Aquilani’s chances of ending up at AC Milan before the transfer window shuts have been given a boost by Fiorentina.

The Rossoneri have been targeting Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo, but have been informed that La Viola is very unlikely to sell the 26-year-old to another Italian club.

Indeed, should Montolivo leave Fiorentina, then the club do not want to strengthen a domestic rival. This has put Bayern Munich in the driving seat, with the Allianz Arena outfit also keeping a close eye on the Italy international.

And so out-of-favour Liverpool midfielder Aquilani, who is also on Milan’s radar, has seen his chances of ending up at the Serie A champions boosted.

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is desperate for a midfielder to be added to his squad and would be fully prepared for that man to be Aquilani.

The former Roma playmaker is surplus to requirements at Anfield and would like to exit Liverpool in a permanent move after spending last season on loan at Juventus.

However, Aquilani is believed to be so determined to head back to Italy, certain he will receive few opportunities under Kenny Dalglish at Anfield, that he would also accept a loan if that were the only escape route on offer.
