| | Aquilani 'begins Juve talks' |
Wednesday 19 November, 2008 |
| There are rumours that Roma's Azzurri midfielder Alberto Aquilani is flirting with Juventus.
The homegrown talent was strongly linked with the Old Lady in the summer and there were rumours that the Turin giants saw a sizeable offer rejected.
After Roma's disappointing start to the season, La Stampa claims that Aquilani is looking for a fresh start and is again hoping for a transfer to Juve.
Aquilani has been unwilling to commit to a new deal with the Giallorossi and contract talks seem to have hit a brick wall.
La Stampa insists that Aquilani's father Claudio and agent Franco Zavaglia have contacted Juve to try and instigate a deal.
There is also speculation that Juve could add midfielder Tiago Mendes in a part-exchange bid.
However, wages may prove a problem. The Bianconeri don't offer vast salaries to their new men and they may not be willing to pay the £1.7m per year that Aquilani wants.
