The Italian midfielder has raised a number of eyebrows with
Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter all showing great
interest in the player.
Aquilani has been having problems regarding the renewal of his
contract at Roma as both player and club have failed to reach an
agreement. This, as well as Roma's on-going crisis in Serie A has
led to rife speculation that the Italian international wants
out.
Tuttomercatoweb.com claims Wenger is standing by and ready pounce
at the first sign of an exit. The Giallorossi may be forced to sell
up in order to curb mounting debts with Italian bank Unicredit and
a January exit could be on the horizon.
Arsenal still haven't replaced Mathieu Flamini who left for Milan
in the summer. Aquilani will represent a good deal for the Gunners
boss as he is young and one of Europe's hottest midfielders.
Roma have played hardball so far but with the club and player at
constant logger heads over a new deal as well as the abject form at
Trigoria so far, Aquilani to Arsenal could take off sooner rather
than later.
