Aquilani Contract Problems Let In Inter?

fount : goal.com



Aquilani has been heavily linked with a move away from the Eternal City, as talks to renew his current contract, which runs out in 2010, have seemingly hit a brick wall.

The Italy international, who played at Euro 2008, has been asking for around €2.5m in wages per year, but the highest Roma have been willing to offer is €1.6m.

This has led to interest from a host of top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Arsenal, Juventus and Inter, the latter two of whom have promised the player a salary of €3m.

Tuttosport says that Aquilani’s contract problems are no closer to being solved, and as a result the chance of the player leaving the club is definitely possible.

Juventus are now out of the race having signed Christian Poulsen earlier this week, but Inter are very much on the lookout for a top class centre midfielder.

The Nerazzurri’s primary target is Cheslea’s Frank Lampard, but secondary options are Napoli’s Marek Hamsik and Aquilani. Hamsik will be almost impossible to prise away from the Partenopei this summer, but Aquilani, despite his allegiance to his hometown club Roma, may agree to a move.
