Gila to Liverpool?
Alberto Gilardino has come a long way since playing in the Champions League final for AC Milan against Liverpool. Despite having a three-goal advantage going into the break, somehow AC Milan managed to lose to Liverpool. Now the unthinkable has happened, with the talented Italian being linked with a move to Liverpool, which comes as a surprise for many.
Alberto Gilardino has always said that he is not looking for a move away from Fiorentina and just wants to get back from his injury. Since signing for Fiorentina, Alberto Gilardino has become one of the most important players at the club, scoring more than 60 goals for the Italian club and earning a contract till 2013.
However, recently there has been a lot of speculation that Liverpool are interested in signing the former AC Milan striker in order to replace Andy Carroll. Carroll has been extremely disappointing since signing for Liverpool in a £ 35 million deal from Newcastle United. It seems that Kenny Dalglish has run out of patience with the England striker and is now targeting the Italian striker to partner Luis Suarez instead. Even though there has been a lot of speculation, Alberto Gilardino has not publicly commented – instead, his agent has come out with the statement that he is looking to not move away from Fiorentina.
Speaking to the media, his agent said “Alberto is currently recovering from injury and has only one thought at the moment – to do well in the purple shirt, and please the Ultras and other fans with as many goals as possible.”
Another player who has been linked with a move away from Juventus is Fabio Quagliarella. Both Fabio Quagliarella and Alberto Gilardino share the same agent, who has once again denied speculation that Fabio Quagliarella is looking for a move elsewhere from Juventus.
