Juventus could pull out of Aquilani deal

According to Sky Sports Italia, Juventus are believed to have told Liverpool they are unwilling to pay the buy-out fee of £14.2 million agreed apon last summer when the Rossenaries took the player on a season long loan.

As expected, Juventus have been unwilling to pay a price they feel is to high. Aquilani, who was signed for around £20 million from Roma in 2009, has been arguably one of Juventus' best players this season as he has put in some stellar performances.

The general manager for Juventus, Giuseppe Marotta, said:

"There is a buy-out clause that has to be activated by May 15. We'll try to reach an agreement before the deadline.

"I can certainly say we will not sign Aquilani for the sum set by Liverpool."

I personally feel the fee is a just price for a player who has played well for the majority of the season. As talked about a few days ago, AC Milan could also make a move for the player as they look to replace Andre Pirlo. If Juventus are unwilling to pay the fee agreed upon last year then Liverpool should keep the player. I would gladly welcome the lad back to Anfield and hope he can make an impact as Liverpool look to break back into the top four next season.
