Aquilani could be offered Milan escape route

AC Milan are ready to pounce for Liverpool outcast Alberto Aquilani if Juventus keep dithering over making an offer.

The Italian international is currently on loan at Juve, and wants to tie up a permanent deal with the Turin giants, but the move is stalling due to the Bianconeri's reluctance to meet the Liverpool's £16million asking price.

They've already missed one deadline to make a bid, and the Reds have been forced into negotiations due to the player's unwillingness to return to Anfield, but Juve's proposal of just £6million is way below expectation.

Now, newly-crowned Serie A champions Milan are ready to steal in with an offer of closer to £10million for the former Roma man, and Aquilani is understood to be willing to accept the opportunity to move.

The Rossoneri are looking for a new creative force in midfield after Andrea Pirlo left for Juventus, and the Liverpool man would fit the bill.
