Various media outlets are reporting Liverpool Football Club have come to an agreement with both Italian side Roma and Alberto Aquilani to bring the player to Anfield for a fee of £15.3million.
The Spanish sports paper Marca first published supposed confirmation of the deal which would bring in a direct replacement for Madrid-bound Xabi Alonso. Later on in the day the story was broke on Liverpool radio station City Talk, with sources claiming the Merseyside club will unveil the player to the public in the near future.
If the stories are true and then the 25 year-olds move to Liverpool will almost certainly confirm the departure of want-away Spaniard Xabi Alonso, who’s potential move to Real Madrid has been dominating the back pages for weeks with rumours of new prices and deals being made.
