Reports: Aquilani demands fourth
Thursday 20 November, 2008

Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani will only commit his future to the club if they secure Champions League qualification, according to the latest reports.

The Azzurri ace has been widely linked with a transfer to Juventus, who reportedly saw a big-money approach rebuffed last summer.

Homegrown talent Aquilani has always stressed his commitment to the Giallorossi cause, but has refused to sign a contract extension in recent months.

The 24-year-old has just recovered fitness after a month on the sidelines and seems to have become frustrated in the Eternal City after watching his teammates struggle in Serie A.

According to Il Romanista, Aquilani is only happy to stay with the capital club if they manage to book a place in next season's Champions League.

Despite last weekend's victory over city rivals Lazio, Roma are still 12 points behind fourth-placed Napoli and will need to dig deep if they are to meet Aquilani's demands.
