Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani has completed his season-long loan move to Juventus, the Italian club have announced. The Serie A outfit say have also acquired an option to buy the former Roma player for £13.1million after the Reds confirmed at the weekend that the player was travelling to Turin after a deal in principle had been agreed. Aquilani was made available for loan by Liverpool after struggling to make an impact since his £17million move from Roma last summer. A Juventus statement read: "Juventus Football Club announces that an agreement with Liverpool FC for the free temporary acquisition of the registration rights of the player Alberto Aquilani has been reached. "The agreement also includes the option right, to be exercised at the end of 2010-2011 season, for the definitive acquisition by Juventus of the football player at the price of £13.1million, to be paid in three years."
