Aquilani will stay, says Sensi Friday 7 March, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roma managing director Rosella Sensi has moved to reject the notion that Alberto Aquilani will leave the club.

The young Roman midfielder has been continuously linked with a transfer to both Inter and Milan.

Aquilani was outstanding in the Giallorossi’s second round Champions League victory at Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

The 23-year-old hit the woodwork and threatened Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas on a number of occasions as La Magica went on to win 4-2 on aggregate at the Bernabeu.

“I have an extremely good rapport with Milan,” remarked Sensi. “But Aquilani will never go away.”

Aquilani, who was a doubt to start in Spain, is optimistic that his performance will cement his place in the team.

“I hope I have done everything to convince the gaffer,” Alberto told Sky Italia.

The daughter of Roma President Franco Sensi, Rosella was proud of the Giallorossi’s second consecutive qualification to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

“We have carried Italian football forward in Europe with great elegance, style and superiority,” she noted.

“I am content for my father and our splendid fans. Each and every one of us deserves this.”
