Galliani confirms deal is virtually done

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed the club are on the brink of signing Alberto Aquilani from Liverpool. The Italian midfielder's agent declared earlier on Wednesday that he was hopeful a deal could be struck quickly and reports in Italy suggest terms have now been agreed between all parties. The transfer is not official yet as Aquilani still needs to fly to Milan to undergo a medical and put pen to paper, which could happen in the next 24 hours. But Galliani has been unable to contain his excitement at the news and has declared that Milan will not look to sign anybody else. "We've signed a player with great quality," said Galliani. "He's the right man for Milan. "Our transfer market campaign has now come to a close." It is understood that Aquilani will join Milan on an initial loan deal and a permanent move will be triggered if he makes at least 25 appearances this season.
