Liverpool outcast Alberto Aquilani could be set to end his Anfield misery by joining AC Milan in a €10 million deal, according to his agent Franco Zavaglia.
Italy international Aquilani is keen to secure a permanent move back to Serie A this summer but, despite interest from Juventus and Fiorentina, no deal has been reached.
As the new season draws closer, it seems more and more likely that Aquilani, who has been involved in Liverpool's pre-season games, will feature for the Reds next season - a scenario that looked impossible only a few months ago.
However, one escape route appears to be developing, with Zavaglia intending to open talks with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani over the 27-year-old.
"When you speak of such a negotiation, there is always an element of truth," Zavaglia told ilsussidiario.net. "Galliani is now in China for the Italian Super Cup, but I expect to talk to him when he comes back to Milan. I think an agreement could be reached for a figure around €10million."
Aquilani impressed in his cameo role during Liverpool's 3-3 friendly draw with Valerenga, but Zavaglia still thinks Kenny Dalglish is reluctant to include the player in his first-team plans, with so many options available in central midfield following the arrivals of Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson.
"Aquilani is still tied to a three-year contract with Liverpool and before his eventual departure we will talk with the leadership of Liverpool," Zavaglia said. "It seems clear to me that the player doesn't fall into the technical plans of the coach, so the suggestion of his departure is concrete."
