Former Liverpool player Alberto Aquilani has revealed that he never really wanted to play for Liverpool and that he was more interested in staying in Italy. Alberto Aquilani is considered as one of the worst Liverpool signings under Rafael Benitez after his £17.1m move in 2009 from Roma.

Alberto Aquilani said that he was not prepared to move to England and that it was hard for him to adapt to the demands of the Premier League as well as the weather in England. He said that it was a big change for him from the Serie A but he had the chance to player with some incredibly talented players such as Steven Gerrard, Torres as well as Dirk Kuyt. He said that this is all memories that he will be cherishing for a lifetime.
