Midfielder Alberto Aquilani will officially join Italian giants Juventus on a one-year loan deal from Liverpool on Tuesday after having undergone medical tests today, reports in the Italian media suggest.
The 26-year-old was in Turin today as he underwent some medical tests, reports Tuttosport. Aquilani visited two different clinics to have his medical and according to Sky Sport 24 will undergo some other tests tomorrow before joining the team.
Reports suggest that Juventus will retain an option to sign Aquilani on a permanent basis at the end of the 2010-11 season for a transfer fee of €16 million. It's been also said that the former Roma midfielder will earn €3.3m this season.
The player signed for Liverpool from Roma last summer but with the departure of Rafael Benitez to Inter and the arrival of Roy Hodgson at Anfield, the injury-prone midfielder had little chance of staying at Merseyside this season.
