Liverpool put Alberto Aquilani out of his Anfield misery yesterday when it agreed to loan the Italian international to Juventus for the remainder of the season.

Aquilani joined Liverpool from AS Roma a year ago for around 17 million pounds (US$26.43 million) but barely featured under previous manager Rafa Benitez and subsequently missed out on a place in the Italy squad for the World Cup.

Liverpool announced the deal on its Website yesterday, saying it was subject to Aquilani passing a medical in Italy tomorrow.

Juventus also signed Serbia winger Milos Krasic from CSKA Moscow on a four-year contract for a fee of 15 million euros, the Italian Serie A club said yesterday.

The 25-year old winger was named Serbia's 2009 footballer of the year following impressive performances in World Cup qualifying but failed to reproduce that kind of form in the finals in South Africa.
