Back Ju go: Alberto Aquilani (centre) looks set to
return to Liverpool
Alberto Aquilani's
fading hopes of securing a full-time move to Juventus are expected
to be dashed once and for all when Antonio Conte is officially
unveiled as the Turin club's new coach.
Juventus turned to Conte
to replace the sacked Luigi Del Neri shortly after agreeing a
cut-price £8million fee with
Liverpool to turn
Aquilani's season-long loan into a permanent
transfer.
But former Siena boss Conte
told Juve bosses he did not want the 26-year old midfielder and is
expected to confirm as much at his inaugural press
conference.
Aquilani is desperate to stay
in Italy, nearly two years after joining Liverpool from Roma for
£17m, and may yet have his wish granted, with both Milan clubs
interested in signing him.
