Liverpool Confirm Midfielder Leaving Anfield

It is official,  Alberto Aquilani has moved to AC Milan on a loan deal. A statement on Liverpool.tv said:

Liverpool FC have reached an agreement, subject to a medical, for Alberto Aquilani to join AC Milan on loan for the remainder of the current season. The deal includes an option to make the move a permanent one.

Director of Football Damien Comolli said: “I want to pay tribute to the way Alberto has conducted himself during these discussions.

“Throughout the entire process, his only desire has been to play football and he has put this ahead of any other considerations and at personal cost to himself. We wish him well for the season ahead.”

Well, pity that a player of such high caliber couldn’t stay around till at least January to see how he fares in the Premier League. Although, I must say, why did his desire to play football end up taking him to Sardinia for a holiday last week? Unanswered questions.
