It was expected that the Capital club would reply to this news, which they have now done in an official note published on their website, AsRoma.it.

"AS Roma confirm that they have authorized Liverpool FC to contact Alberto Aquilani to discuss the possibility of an eventual transfer of his to England," it says on the note.

It's likely that now the only thing separating Aquilani from signing a new contract with the Reds are the medical tests, which will take place tomorrow.

The 25-year-old is a product of Roma's youth system, and made his debut for the club in May 2003 at age 18. He has made 109 Serie A appearances for the club and scored nine goals.
