Alberto Aquilani 300[LNB]ALBERTO AQUILANI is eyeing Serie A title glory with Juventus and has no desire to return to Liverpool.[LNB]The Italian midfielder is on a season-long loan at the Turin outfit who have the option to buy him next summer.[LNB]Aquilani has impressed back in his homeland after an injury-ravaged spell with the Reds following a £18million switch from Roma in August 2009.[LNB]Juve are flying high in fourth place - just five points behind leaders AC Milan - and Aquilani believes he's rediscovering his form under the guidance of coach Luigi Delneri.[LNB] 'I'm feeling fine and the injuries are behind me,' he said.[LNB]'I have had some difficult moments but with hard work and the help of those who love me I have overcome them.[LNB]'Delneri is an excellent coach, prepares us well and has created an excellent team spirit.[LNB]'It hasn't taken us long to become united as a squad and I believe this will help us enormously.[LNB]'If Delneri talks about winning the title then there is a reason. We are going through a good period and have to consolidate this week after week.'[LNB]The 26-year-old, whose injury problems and failure to adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League meant he started just 14 games for the Reds, hasn't looked back since returning to Serie A.[LNB]He earned a recall to the Italy squad last month and has helped Juve embark on a 13-game unbeaten run.[LNB]Aquilani believes he benefited from his time at Anfield but wants to remain in Turin.
