There's only 1 player that I would go for - Pato

Alberto Aquilani's agent has claimed that the Liverpool playmaker will decide his future this week.

The midfielder has two years remaining on his current contract at Anfield but has spent the previous two seasons on loan in his native Italy, with Juventus and AC Milan respectively.

Aquilani's performances for Milan had suggested that he would secure a permament move to the San Siro this summer, three years after his £20million move to Anfield from boyhood club Roma.

Franco Zavaglia, who represents the 27-year-old, expects his client's situation to become clear in the coming days but has dismissed reports in Italy that Aquilani would buy out his Reds contract.

"We had a meeting with English executives but for the time being, nothing has emerged," Zavaglia told ilsussidiario.net.

"We expect a response from Liverpool which should arrive within the week."

He added: "There is absolutely no possibility that Aquilani can become a free agent in order to then decide what to do.

"I don't know if he wants to stay at Milan, we shall see. We just have to wait and see what happens and what Liverpool decides."

His agent certainly loves all this anyway, updates every single day every summer window.

Paolo Bandini @Paolo_Bandini
Corriere dello Sport report Alberto Aquilani has had his contract at #lfc terminated. They expect him to sign as free agent for #AcMilan

Paolo Bandini @Paolo_Bandini
Remarkably, Corriere dello Sport report would have it that Aquilani is hoping to get €4m pay-off - as would be big wages saving for #lfc

[Chris]

His agent has already rubbished that.

I think its taking the piss but even paying him €4 million would give us a £5 or 6 million saving on the remainder of his contract

[Neil Young]

I don't think anyone with a shred of common decency would begrudge him getting an extra €4m.

[RedReet]

Why in God's name would we do that? Surely there is some club in the world that would take him, even for a nominal fee with him having to put in a transfer request?

Crazy

Because we are Liverpool FC. Thats how we roll.

I'm not sure he did

I think he dismissed the possibility of buying out his contract

This imo is what they have been angling for, us giving him away for nowt with a juicy fat pay off

He only wants to go back to Italy though so he'd just reject all the other approaches

Short of forcing him to come back here and see out his contract whilst paying him £4-5 million per annum its hard to see where we could go

The situation really pisses me off and I hate the way it looks like hes acted but it might just be worthwhile letting him go and saving whatever we can out of this

I'd be pleased to get his wages off the books frankly

Hear hear. His commitment to providing our physio with constant work in his time here and for incurring minimal wear and tear on our pitch whilst out on loan is commendable.
