Aquilani not joining
Liverpool
Alberto Aquilani's agent has rubbished
reports that Liverpool are weighing up a bid for the Roma
midfielder.
There have been rumours suggesting that Rafa Benitez
has identified the 25-year-old Italy international as
an ideal signing should Xabi Alonso leave for Real Madrid.
However, the player's agent, Franco Zavaglia, insists there is absolutely no truth in those
suggestions and says Aquilani is simply focusing on recovering from
the ankle injury that left him sidelined for much of last
season.
"Alberto to Liverpool? Don't talk nonsense," he told
Romagiallorossa.com.
"There's no need to even speak about it because there is nothing
real there.
"The player just extended his contract and is working towards
recovery and giving his best for Roma."
Aquilani is under contract until 2013 and boss Luciano Spalletti this week tipped the player to recover his best form
next season.
