Alberto Aquilani’s agent says the Liverpool midfielder is not the subject of a bid from AC Milan, and is unlikely to return to Italy this summer.

The out-of-favour Italian spent last season on loan at Juventus, and reports have suggested that Aquilani may be the midfielder that Milan are looking for.

When asked by milannews.it about the possibility of a return to Serie A, his agent Franco Zavaglia said: “There is little chance.

“The possibility of seeing Alberto back in the Italian championship is very small at the moment.”

On whether the 27-year-old might be on his way to AC Milan, Zavaglia added: “I would say no.

“There has been no negotiation for Aquilani to head to Milan.

“At the moment I believe Aquilani will be wearing the Liverpool shirt next season.”

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is understood to be searching for a central midfielder, with Marek Hamsik, Javier Pastore and Riccardo Montolivo all linked with the Italian champions.

Aquilani moved to Anfield two summers ago but his debut season was marred by injuries and he was subsequently loaned out last year by Roy Hodgson.

New boss Kenny Dalglish has already signed two midfielders – Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam – this summer and is set to add a third as the club agreed a fee with Aston Villa for Stewart Downing.
