Alberto Aquilani has spoken about the reasons for his exit from Liverpool after having been declared as a flop.


The Italian was signed from Roma by former manager Rafa Benitez for around £ 20 million. It was seen as a bargain at that time since Aquilani was one of the young and upcoming midfielders in Italy with a lot of talent, although he had a reputation for being injured too long. Benitez was hoping that his scientific approach to the game would help alleviate the injury worries for the midfielder but it was not the case. Aquilani was injured for a majority of his Liverpool career.

Aquilani’s playing career has taken a huge dip ever since he left Fiorentina back on August of 2015. It was during this period of time when the Italian player decided to join Sporting CP as the Italian midfielder penned a 3 year long contract with Sporting CP but despite having joined the Portuguese outfit, he has barely had any time on the pitch with his new teammates.

After Aquilani was released from Fiorentina, the veteran midfielder stated that he would like to join a club that believes in him and it’s why he opted to make a move to Sporting CP but things haven’t been working out for him as Aquilani has had to spend the majority of his time on the sidelines.

The substitute position role is what Alberto Aquilani has had to play as a player of Sporting CP which is clearly not what he wanted to have happened after leaving Fiorentina a few years ago.
