Reports from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ACF-Fiorentina-c38209. The Italian media are convinced that the player would be coming to Stadio Artemio Franchi for the 2011/12 season and they have
even revealed the jersey number for Aquilani.
Aquilani was on loan at Juventus last season and spent the campaign with the Turin giants proving himself worth the 11 million Euros for a permanent move. The Bianconeri constantly reassured the player and his agents that he will signed at the end of the
season.
However, following the conclusion to the season, Juve wanted a discounted price for Aquilani which was rejected by Liverpool. After extending efforts to make the deal work, the midfielder finally returned to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 disappointed by the decision made by the
Juve officials, despite him playing well and proving his consistency.
Recent reports from Italy suggest that the Italian international has been the topic of discussion between the Viola and the Reds for the past couple of weeks. There were no issues regarding the loan transfer deal and Liverpool, like before, had asked for
a million Euros for the loan deal and Fiorentina will have the option to buy him outright for 11 million Euros.
However, the midfielder currently earns 3.6 million Euros per season and that was considered too steep by the Italian outfit. In this regard, the Tuscan giants offered a 2.2 million Euros per season to Aquilani and surprisingly, the 27-year-old accepted
the offer. Now the deal is reckoned to work out by the end of the week and Aquilani would once again be on a loan deal.
On the other hand, Corriere Fiorentino newspaper claims that the transfer has already been completed and Aquilani would be wearing the number 10 shirt for the Voila in the 2011/12 season, the same shirt as another Roman player Picchio De Sisti wore.
Fiorentina are also keen on the Santos midfielder Marcos Arouca and are close to signing the player for the upcoming term.
