Aquilani: 'I'm crazy with joy!'
Alberto Aquilani is “crazy with joy” about his imminent move to Juventus. “I hope to recapture the Nazionale jersey too.”
The Liverpool midfielder is all set to complete his loan with option to buy for €15.5m after an injury-ravaged spell in the Premier League.
“I am very happy to be playing with the Bianconeri jersey. I’m just crazy with joy,” he told the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport.
“I also hope to recapture the Nazionale jersey too.”
The former Roma star made reference to the fact Juventus had wanted him two seasons ago when Claudio Ranieri was still in charge.
“I’m here two years late, but I am so happy to make this move, as for me it is a bit like coming home.”
Juventus and Liverpool are concluding the final details of the move, which will see the Bianconeri cover all of his €3.4m per season wages during the loan.
They then have the option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the campaign for around €15.5m.
