ROME:
Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani is looking forward to returning to Anfield after Juventus failed to take up the option to convert his season-long loan into a permanent deal. The Italian playmaker, bought by Liverpool from AS Roma two seasons ago for an estimated $27 million, enjoyed one of his most productive seasons, playing more than 30 matches in the heart of the Bianconeri midfield. The club announced the transfer on their website with the 27-year old, who is due to have a medical, set to take over the right-back berth vacated by Stephan Liechsteiner who moved to Juve earlier this week.
