Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Alberto Aquilani from Roma, subject to a medical, for about £20 million.
The signing comes just hours after Xabi Alonso passed his medical at Real Madrid and completed a £30m move to the Bernabeu after five years at Anfield.
"Alberto is a very good player and I'm delighted we've reached agreement with Roma for his transfer," Rafa Benitez, the Liverpool manager, said. "He will travel to Merseyside later this week for a medical. Alberto has a winning mentality and great experience in both Serie A and the Champions League.
"He has long been recognised as a top class talent in Italy, captaining his country at both under-19 and under-21 levels before establishing himself in the senior national side."
The Italy midfielder has not played since March, having made only 14 league appearances last season, and underwent surgery on his right ankle in May.
