Liverpool Target Set for £17m Roma Departure

No smoke without fire!

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has declared he's ready to sell Liverpool target Alberto Aquilani.

Liverpool see Aquilani as a potential replacement for Xabi Alonso, should the Spaniard make the move to Real Madrid this summer.

Spalletti said: "We have been quite expert in recent years following the departures of a number of our top players, and we have always managed to reorganise ourselves well.
