Two obstacles preventing Aquilani from a return to Italy
The second hurdle could be Aquilani’s wages. It is reported that Aquilani earns £70,000-a-week on his current Liverpool deal and Fiorentina would not be able to match this. It would now be up to Aquilani is he wants to move back to Italy but take a pay cut.
Alberto Aquilani’s agent Franco Zavaglia is uncertain whether Fiorentina can match the Liverpool midfielder’s wage demands, he told Corriere Dello Sport:
“Anything can happen, never say never. We will wait and see if there is anything concrete. Alberto has a major contract with Liverpool, and Fiorentina operate with certain economic parameters. I don’t know whether the operation is feasible, but over time something (salary) can be skimmed (reduced).”
From Aquilani’s perspective, he wants to be playing regular football this coming season and a move to a club where he will be a regular starter is important, especially with the European Championships coming up, he would want to be part of the Italy side. I am not sure if he stays at Liverpool if he will get as much game time as he wants following the arrivals of Henderson, Adam and Downing to the club this summer.
Aquilani finds himself in a really tough position right now but hopefully all can be resolved soon.

I really hope he stays and we give him one season. Remember how welcome Alonso played when his future was not clear? Hopefully Aquilani can do the same.
In games at home against the smaller clubs we could field Aquilani and Gerrard in midfield. Those two have linked up well wehn they palyed together.
we need the present of aquilani in anfield even if he has to accept bench at times he’s very important for ur if there is any injury from other player we can sell raul mierales and our dead woods.

Were are not selling the players to use the money to buy others !!!!!! We have plenty money to buy players !!!! We need to get rid to lower the clubs wage bill !!!!
I agree with you Mike. Some players are earning money for doing nothing. Cole has to be the first to leave then in this case.
