• Liverpool midfielder currently on loan at Serie A side
• ‘Juve has the priority and I don’t think they’ll let him escape’

Alberto Aquilani is likely to sign with Juventus at the end of the season, according to the player’s agent.

The Liverpool midfielder returned to Serie A on loan last August after only one injury-affected season in the Premier League. And Aquilani’s representative, Franco Zavaglia, has suggested the Italian is ready to extend his stay in Turin despite being linked with his former club Roma.

“Aquilani to Roma? That will be difficult. Juve has the priority and I don’t think they will let him escape,” he told the Italian broadcaster Radio Mana Mana. “On 30 June Juventus will be able to buy Aquilani and they should act now.

“They could sign him by making three to four delayed payments, a system which was established last summer. The agreement between Liverpool and Juventus is already there, it all depends on the willingness of Juventus. I think Aquilani will stay at Juventus and there will not be any obstacles.”

It’s an all-star line-up for your brand new edition of Football Weekly, with AC Jimbo joined by Sean Ingle, Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay and Gregg Roughley in a packed pod.

We start by dissecting Fernando Torres’s miserble debut for Chelsea as the Blues went down to resurgent Liverpool. Is the Spaniard the new Chris Sutton? Wiser people than us seem to think so.

Also in the podcast, we look back on the rest of the action from an amazing weekend in the Premier League. Manchester United’s unconvincing cloak of invincibility cames to an end with defeat at Wolves, Arsenal showed their title-winning credentials by throwing away a four-goal lead at Newcastle United, while another defeat for West Brom saw the Baggies part company with Roberto di Matteo.

Elsewhere, Sid Lowe fails to give us a La Liga round-up without going doolally about Messi and Ronaldo, and we hear about the rather tearful end to Fabrizio Miccoli’s afternoon against Lecce.

And mixed in with all that, like particularly juicy sultanas in a moist fruit cake, there’s discussion about Hi-NRG disco, James’ neighbour – who is dating a top Premier League footballer – and our favourite stadium caterers. According to Barney, journalists at Villa Park even get sweets and cakes. Can anyone beat that?
