The agent of Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani has not ruled out a return to Italy with Fiorentina this summer.[LNB] Aquilani has been a disappointment at Anfield since his £20million move from Roma last summer as a supposed replacement for Xabi Alonso, with his time in England disrupted by several injuries.[LNB]Speculation has suggested that debt-ridden Liverpool may look to raise transfer funds by offloading the Italy international, while manager Rafa Benitez's uncertain future has also cast the player's prospects into doubt.[LNB]Fiorentina have been credited with an interest in Aquilani and his agent, Franco Zavaglia, knows that the Serie A club's sporting director, Pantaleo Corvino, is an admirer.[LNB]"The interest of Fiorentina is not new," Zavaglia told firenzeviola.it. "There are rumours about Aquilani and Fiorentina for three years.[LNB]"I don't think there is anything concrete at the moment, but one thing is for certain, Alberto is a craze of Corvino.[LNB]"It is still too early to tell if a deal is possible. First of all the priority is to finish the season well. Then we will know what will be the future at Liverpool."
