AC Milan boss Max Allegri has dropped a big hint he wants to sign Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani.
Allegri remains in the market for a replacement for Andrea Pirlo, who has joined Juventus.
"At the moment there is no Mr X," he said of the mysterious transfer target who has been touted throughout the summer.
It was believed to be Riccardo Montolivo, but Fiorentina have pledged to only sell him abroad.
"We will stay like this and try to get back the injured players as quickly as possible. We will be competitive on all fronts, including the Champions League, where last season we struggled for various reasons.
"We will absolutely not sign a striker, so if we do bring in reinforcements, it'll be in midfield. Is Aquilani Mr X? If you say so..."
