Fiorentina are considering a move for Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani.

Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic confirmed in his Press conference on Friday that his team "needs an Aquilani-style midfielder" for this season.

Florence sources say the Viola are prepared to pay Liverpool in order to have Aquilani on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Even with this cut-price method of taking the €14m-rated ex-Roma man, there are still big financial obstacles.

Aquilani's contract is worth €4m per season, which is far above Fiorentina's current wage average.
