Official: Aquilani loaned to "Juventus" club © EuroFootball.com

Alberto Aquilani officially became a member of Turin - he was loaned out by the club for a year. After the season, the Italians will be able to buy the footballer's contract for 16 million euros.

Although the deal was agreed a few days ago, medical checks took a while - doctors carefully examined the player plagued by injuries.

Aquilani moved to Liverpool in the summer of 2009 and was supposed to replace Xabi Alonso in the 'Reds' team, but he did not play for a long time due to injuries and failed to establish himself in the main lineup.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson was motivated to loan out the Italian by the fact that he could not guarantee him regular playing time on the field.
