ALBERTO AQUILANI’S agent expects the Italian midfielder to remain at Liverpool this season.

The 28-year-old has returned to the Reds after spending last season on loan at AC Milan who opted not to take up their option to make the move permanent.

Agent Franco Zavaglia said: “He’ll play for Liverpool. There is little to say about leaving AC Milan, the season is over and he’ll put that behind him.

“Alberto is back in England and is still a Liverpool player. He will play there next season.”
