Aquilani Waiting On Reds Talks

Alberto Aquilani is keen to know where he will be playing in 2012/13, but accepts he must wait until Liverpool's managerial situation has been resolved.

The Italy international has been frozen out of the picture at Anfield in the last two seasons, taking in loan spells at Juventus and AC Milan.

It is expected that he will complete a permanent move away from Merseyside this summer, with a number of Serie A sides reported to be keen.

Aquilani is, however, still contracted to Liverpool and must wait to hear whether he figures in the plans of their incoming boss.

The Reds are understood to be closing in on a successor to Kenny Dalglish, with Brendan Rodgers poised to inherit the reins, but Aquilani must wait for that process to be completed before discovering where he stands.

"I need to understand whether there are conditions for an agreement that satisfies everyone," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I'm waiting for Liverpool to decide the name of the new coach, then we will meet in order to understand their plans. Only then will I be able to make the right decision.

"It is important that I have the opportunity to make a contribution, to be able to play well and play regularly."

Aquilani's agent admits he too is waiting on news regarding the Anfield hot-seat before looking into a possible move for his client.

"The situation is that there have been no developments," Franco Zavaglia told spaziomilan.it.

"We must be patient and wait for Liverpool to make a decision.

"There is no problem, but before talking about what Alberto wants to do we must first understand what the British club intend to do."
