Juve hope to keep Aquilani

Juventus are keen to keep hold of Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani when his loan move expires at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old midfielder failed to impress at Anfield since his move from Roma in 2009 and joined Juve on a season-long loan last summer.
Juve have the option to purchase the Italy international at the end of the season and general manager Giuseppe Marotta is confident a deal will be agreed.
"We have a good rapport with Liverpool and we think we can reach an understanding," Marotta said in Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Alberto has proved to be an important player and we knew him already from his time at Roma.
"We have an option to buy his contract which is quite high for us, but we will soon try to find a solution with Liverpool."
Juventus play Catania in Serie A on Saturday and can be backed at 1.61 (Full Time Result) to get the home win, with Catania 5.50 and the draw 3.75.
