Alberto Aquilani's agent expects to hold talks with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani next week over a £8.7million move from Liverpool.[LNB] Milan have jumped to the front of the queue for the Italian midfielder, with Fiorentina's negotiations having broken down last week.[LNB]Aquilani would jump at the chance to return to Serie A on a permanent basis and the 27-year-old's agent, Franco Zavaglia, believes the Premier League side could be prepared to sell the player for as little as 10million euros (£8.7million), having paid Roma a reported £20million almost two years ago.[LNB]Zavaglia confirmed there is truth in Milan's interest, and he expects to speak with the club's representatives after their Super Cup meeting with Inter in Beijing on Saturday.[LNB]"When you speak of such a negotiation, there is always an element of truth," he told ilsussidiario.net.[LNB]"Galliani is now in China for the Italian Super Cup, but I expect to talk to him when he comes back to Milan.[LNB]"I think an agreement could be reached for a figure around €10million."[LNB]However, Liverpool may hold out for a higher fee to minimise their potential loss, and Zavaglia is aware Aquilani's future remains in his club's hands.[LNB]He added: "Aquilani is still tied to a three-year contract with Liverpool and before his eventual departure we will talk with the leadership of Liverpool.[LNB]"It seems clear to me that the player doesn't fall into the technical plans of the coach, so the suggestion of his departure is concrete."
