Liverpool are set to sign Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani after the two clubs agreed a fee of £16million, according to reports in Italy.
Personal terms will not be discussed until Xabi Alonso completes his move to Real Madrid.
However, if Alonso’s move to Madrid collapses, Liverpool will not discuss terms with Aquilani and the transfer will not be completed.
Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena welcomed the signing of the 25-year old Italian international.
He said: “Aquilani is destined to improve even more and could do so even more quickly under a great coach like Benitez.
“A player like him can comfortably play for Liverpool or any other club. He was sidelined due to physical problems last season and could not be at his best, but he has proved to be a great footballer.
“Aquilani can do well in the Premier League, even though it is a more physical league than Serie A.
“Benitez is very good at setting up the team and moving it around. He has many solutions at his disposal and could employ Aquilani in different ways.”

he’s a class player i really hope we’ll sign him if alonso does leave.
Alonso looks Like he g.o.n.e.dis lad a class act though Ynwa
we best get snjedier as part of alonso deal!
I agree with you denny but how about Álvaro Negredo how about this we sell alonso for 20m plus snjedier and Álvaro Negredo we get the 16m for Alberto Aquilani we have 4 million left let’s get expance diffender for 4m plus alvaro arboula
First of all sell babel for 8 mil and then sell riera for 7 mil then sell alonso for 32 mil and sell el zhar for 2 mil and sell benayoun for 12 mil and with the 61 mil raised sign alonso’s replacement aqualani for 16 mil sign riera/benayoun’s replacement siva for 25 mil then sign a partner for torres e.g lavezzi or aguero for 20-30 mil however rafa would have to spend a little extra than what he got from selling all those players.
Sell him buy him.ur a joker Lad.
this is for Louis firstly i dont know what liverpool team you watch definitly keep Reira and Benayoun they are needed I would only sign Lavezzi and Negredo
riera is good but not good enough for the first team of liverpool and im sure selling benayoun would be a good thing if we could sign silva because silva is younger and more skillfull and why would you sign lavezzi and negredo theres no point in buying the two because if weve got torres then with both negredo and lavezzi we would have a 10 or 20 million pound striker on the bench.
i do also have another thought we could sell gerrard, torres, alonso, mascherano, benayoun, babel, lucas, agger, skrtyl, carragher, arbeloa, johnson, ngog, el zhar, reina, cavalieri, kuyt, pacheco, insua, aurellio, dossena, plessis, ayala, san jose, kelly, nemeth and gulasci and with the around 200 million gained we could buy ryan giggs, paul scholes and gary neville.
What is a manutd fan doing on site .fuck dat utd fan i hate u with passion
but im not a man utd fan i was only kidding you idiot. i bet you live in a councill house in liverpool and probably have a night job as a shemale prostitute.

Hmmm some useless and ignorant people here definitely…
This story is a load of rubbish. Who the fuck write these stories, They should get sack for talking shit. A true fan.
rubbish thing here guys’. close the discussion term. shutting down your computer
We only need a striker. If Alonso goes sale him to madrid for Negredo plus 20mil and with 20 mil try and sign Silva.Also i think Alberto Aquilani would be a good signing as well.
I’m Gay and I support Man Utd.
I want david silva & david villa…
LIVERPOOL MUST BUY RICARDO QUARESMA!!!!!!!OR A ALEXIS SANCHEZ!!!!
FUCK MAN UTD!!!!
What a nob head you are Louis
this boy is well class 16m thats a good deal well happy well done rafa
Louis I hate gay’s you dirty faggot
shit stabber yuck fuck off.
Louis think’s this is championship manager, grow up little boy why would we sell benny and riera, try watching a match for once.
wel to me if we do sign him it’s gud for us so we can let alonso go
sell Alonso for 35m Babel 10m Reira 8m arbeloua 5m buy RIBERY with him liverpool will do wonders
Alonso would be a graet loss as well as Mascherano. tell me this if they both go then l say we are at risk not finishing fourth next season.What players are out there that could replace Alonso and Mascherano l can not think of any. why is it when l come onto this website that a agreement has been reached with roma for Aqulani and not on the official site of LFC this is all wrong. I am very upset because to me are team is falling a part. as for pre season 1 goal scored and not a win yet this sounds to me that we are struggling big time and for those youngsters as well they need to step it up.
liverpool fans can trust Rafa he is prepared and as for the friendlies im not fazed again Rafa is making Man U think they are champs but they are in for a big surprise with sizzy boy Ronaldo gone because all he could do is cry for free kicks so lets see have many they are going to get in the new season
lol wat a fucking nubsaw.. man utd dont have there own websites they come on here… and manchester united is based in TRAFFORD HAHAHHAHAH NOT MANCHSTER U STUPID CUNTS.. tranford united dickheads
Hi LFC fans anyone heard in the UK who will replace Xabi.Im not happy that hes leaving but we cant force him to stay.Im waiting for Sundays game to see how our team will play. Louis please dont comment because you are silly and also laza your language is shocking dont need to hear from you either.
Hi, Any thoughts on the villa rumours, sure to be a lethal strike force if it happens – but would we lose something pushing Gerrard back into Midfield? Slighty worried about Aquillia (sorry for spellings) he is very prone to injury and the Prem is alot more physical. Great player though if he can remain fit. Just want the Alonso saga over now – sad to see himgo but its been dragged out long enough. Still dreaming of No 19 YNWA!
