We want to keep Alberto Aquilani but Liverpool's price is high
Juventus have confirmed their interest in signing Alberto Aquilani permanently from Liverpool in the summer.
The Italian international has managed to hold down a regular first team place in Turin this season as the injury troubles that plagued his only year at Anfield haven’t resurfaced with the Serie A giants, making 29 appearances in the league so far.
The former Roma midfielder joined Juventus on loan last summer with the Turin side given the option to purchase him for a fee believed to be in the region of £15 million.
Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta has indicated the current asking price may be too expensive, but his side are eager to negotiate with Aquilani's parent club.
Speaking to Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, Marotta said: “We have a good rapport with Liverpool and we think we can reach an understanding.
"Alberto has proved to be an important player and we knew him already from his time at Roma.
"We have an option to buy his contract which is quite high for us, but we will soon try to find a solution with Liverpool."
So far this season, Aquilani has played 29 league matches, scoring on two occasions.
