The agent of Alberto Aquilani has claimed that the Liverpool midfielder is expected to sign for AC Milan at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old moved to the San Siro on loan over the summer after spending last season at Juventus on a temporary deal.
"As it was agreed, a permanent deal will automatically be struck once he makes 25 appearances," Franco Zavaglia told milannews.it.
"I do not think that Milan will pass up on Aquilani. There is no problem about this, a permanent deal is something we all expect."
The Italian international moved to Anfield from Roma in 2009 for £17m.
