Aquilani had been considering Sampdoria and a move to Major League Soccer in America.

He grew up in the Roma youth academy and was sold to Liverpool for €20m in 2009, but injuries meant he never really made his mark.

Loan spells followed at Juventus and Milan, then he moved to Fiorentina in 2012.
