ユベントスはアクイラーニに強気のディスカウントでオファー

Juve will only offer £6million for Kop flop Aquilani(Mirror Football)

Liverpool have been told by Juventus that they are only prepared to offer £6million for Kop flop Alberto Aquilani.

The Reds are keen to cut their losses on Aquilani after farming him out on loan to Juve last season and were hoping the Turin club would take up the option of buying the Italian midfielder for £14million before the May 15 deadline.

However Juve failed to activate this clause and say they will only pay £6million to make Aquilani's move permanent, even though he still has three years left on his £80,000-a-week Anfield contract.

Liverpool are in a weak bargaining position and they do not want Aquilani back at Anfield as they close in on Sunderland's Jordan Henderson to rebuild their midfield.

They are also due to pay Roma the final £4.4million instalment of Aquilani's fee on June 30, taking his price to £17.6million.

Rafa Benitez's most expensive mistake has made just 28 appearances for Liverpool - the last coming in August - costing the Reds a staggering £630,000 per game.

Aqulani's agent, Franco Zavaglia, is hopeful a compromise deal can be reached with Juve and the former Azzurri star is keen to return to Turin.

Zavaglia also tried to talk up interest from AC Milan, although Liverpool are not sure if it is genuine.

"All season Juventus have always given me the necessary guarantees that they want to keep Alberto," he said.

"The next 24 hours will be decisive. Any eventual economic agreements will follow after Juventus make their decision.

"If Juventus can't do a deal for Alberto and he has to return to Liverpool, then Milan would certainly be a destination that he would accept."


ユベントスがアルベルト・アクイラーニの1600万ユーロ(1400万ポンド)の買い取りオプションを行使せず、自由交渉となったのはディスカウントの意味もあってのこと。リバプールに1200万ユーロ(1060万ポンド)での交渉を持ち掛けたのだが、まとまらなかった。

結局流れてしまったのだが、リバプールにとってフィットしなかったアクイラーニは余剰戦力でしかない。新戦力確保のためにできるだけ高く売ってしまいたいのだが、ユベントスが新たに出したオファーは600万ポンド(678万ユーロ)。さらにディスカントしての獲得打診となっている。

アクイラーニの代理人は24時間以内に決まるだろうとしているが、リバプールは目先の利益を優先して、さらに損をしたかたちとなった。ミランの興味もしめされているが、ユベントス以上に余裕がない財政では満額のオファーは難しいだろう。

アクイラーニを戦力として使うか、それともバーゲン価格で売り払うか。リバプールははっきりと決めなければならない。

ユーベにアクイラーニ参戦ならピルロとの競演、ターンオーバーといろいろな使い方ができ、戦術の幅が広がるはず。フルでシーズン働いたのはほぼ初めてだけに、いい環境を選ぶはずだ。
