Liverpool officials expect Xabi Alonso to complete a deal to Real Madrid within hours and Rafa Benitez has already found a replacement for the Basque player. Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani is thought to have already agreed a deal with Reds, and now the two clubs need to agree on the transfer fee. Liverpool are waiting for Alonso deal to come through so they could focus on signing Aquilani.
Rafa Benitez has finally come to terms with losing Xabi Alonso but he needs to sign a replacement as soon as possible as the season starts in two weeks. Latest reports from Italy suggest the Spaniard managed to convince Aquilani to join Liverpool, with the player agreeing to five-year deal worth €4 million per season. Roma are prepared to sell as they are in poor financial situation and the asking price is thought to be in the region of €20 million.
25-year-old Aquilani is the product of famous Roma youth academy and he’s been tipped as one of the hottest prospect in Italy. He has already made a handful of appearances for the senior national team but spent most of last season on sidelines and this will be an opportunity for a fresh start.
