Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani claims he is close to joining Italian giants AC Milan.
Aquilani spent last season back in his homeland with a loan spell at Juventus, before returning to Anfield earlier in the summer.
Aquilani has been continually linked with a move back to his native Italy summer with the former Roma man seemingly not figuring in Kenny Dalglish's plans.
Juventus declined to sign Aquilani on a permanent basis because of his price-tag, while the 27-year-old also came close to joining Fiorentina earlier this summer, but he pulled out of the move as he wanted a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal.
Milan have now expressed an interest in Aquilani as they look to bolster their midfield options after being frustrated in their attempts to land Fiorentina's Riccardo Montolivo
"I am close to joining Milan," Aquilani told Gazzetta dello Sport.
It remains to be seen if the move would be a loan deal or a permanent deal with Liverpool thought to be keen on a permanent transfer so that they can raise funds for their own transfer plans.
