Alberto Aquilani will stay at AC Milan beyond 2012 as the loan deal from Liverpool will be made permanent, his agent Franco Zavaglia has said.

The 27-year-old Italy international joined the San Siro-based outfit in the summer from the Premier League side.

Aquilani's deal consists of a loan, but Milan will have an option to buy his full rights from Liverpool if he features in 25 or more games for them this season.

Zavaglia believes the Italian will remain with Massimiliano Allegri's men, and end his Anfield hell having never properly settled on Merseyside.

"We can without doubt consider Milan activating the buy-out clause to be a pure formality, especially as he’ll soon reach the written parameters set by Milan and Liverpool," Zavaglia told Itasportpress.

"Alberto is doing well and I think this is clear for all to see."

Aquilani has played in nine Serie A matches for the Rossoneri who take on Fiorentina in Serie A on Saturday night.
