Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani now has a 50 per cent chance of remaining with Juventus, says his agent.
Aquilani's agent Franco Zavaglia, is optimistic a deal will be agreed between Juventus and Liverpool to see the former Roma man return to Italy on a permanent basis.
"The percentage that Aquilani will remain at Juve is above 50 per cent," Zavaglia told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"He has three years left on his contract with Liverpool.
"I believe that in a couple of days the two clubs will reach an agreement."
Juve, who have failed to qualify for European football next season after finishing seventh in Serie A, had refused to pay the asking price of £16million demanded by the Reds for the player's permanent signature.
However, Zavaglia is confident an agreement will be reached, adding: "Juve should have paid 16million for the buy-out clause but I don't think there will be any problems regarding the financial aspects.
"I believe within the next week everything will be resolved."
