Alberto Aquilani is set to complete the final stage of his medical at Juventus today and it has emerged that the Turin club have an option to purchase the Italian in their loan agreement with Liverpool .
The 26-year-old will, as expected, have his wages paid by Juventus. However, should the Old Lady be happy with Aquilani’s impact then they will be able to send €16.5M over to Anfield to make the deal permanent.
Aquilani’s arrival at Juventus has been greeted with delight amongst the club’s fans and the former Roma midfielder remains rated, when fit, as one of the finest in all Italy . For Aquilani the loan is a chance to push his way back into the Azzurri picture and also convince Juventus to make the move permanent.
With Liverpool set to lose Javier Mascherano before the transfer window slams shut, the decision to offload such a highly rated midfielder on loan will surely be the subject of further scrutiny before the season is out.
