Aquilani waiting for renewal
Thursday 19 March, 2009

Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani is still waiting for the Giallorossi to renew his contract, according to his agent Franco Zavaglia.

An agreement was said to be close yesterday, but Zavaglia insists his client is still waiting for a definitive answer.

“There is nothing to conclude, nothing has been done yet,” Zavaglia told Radio Radio. “There has been a lot of contact with Roma, but nothing definitive.

“Negotiating a contract is quite important and very intricate. We need to find the right formula so we can sign the contract with the full satisfaction of the club and the player.”

Aquilani was born in Rome and has been with the Giallorossi his entire career, but some feel he would leave the club were the right offer to arrive.

The 24-year-old Italy international has been linked with moves to Inter and Juventus in the recent past and has never explicitly committed himself to Roma.

“Several clubs are striving to sign Alberto, everyone knows his value,” Zavaglia concluded. “We hope that this period of injuries ends and that he can once again prove his worth.”

Aquilani has made just seven starts for Roma this season and is no longer guaranteed a place in the first team.
