The Bianconeri have been after the midfielder all summer, but capturing him has proven impossible.The Giallorossi, for their part, have been striving to fend off interest from other clubs. Hocer, they may yet be forced to part company with Aquilani.Roma have been playing hardball over their man, but the Old Lady hasn’t given up. Juve know that a decent offer is likely to get the ball rolling.Calciomercato reports that Juve are ready to offer Aquilani a €3.2m per season deal - double what he is earning at the moment.Luciano Spalletti’s problem, then, is that he is unlikely to be able to match the Bianconeri’s tempting offer. His star midfielder would, of course, have his loyalty seriously tested by such an offer.In any case, time is running out for the Olimpico-based side. They will need to renew Aquilani’s contract before the transfer market closes this week, or risk losing him on a free transfer next term.It’s all or nothing at this point and Juve are reportedly ready to pull off one last major signing before Serie A kicks off this weekend.Claudio Ranieri has been strengthening well this summer and the Italian international would be a welcome addition to his side as they attempt to challenge for Scudetto and Champions League honours.
