Alberto Aquilani has revealed he would like to see Liverpool defender Glen Johnson join him at Juventus. Johnson's future at Anfield has been the subject of speculation in recent days after he came in for criticism from Reds boss Roy Hodgson. The England international is thought to be unhappy with Hodgson's comments and is believed to be considering a move away from Anfield. Juventus have been credited with an interest in Johnson and Aquilani, who is currently on a season-long loan from Liverpool to Juve, admits the right-back would be an ideal addition to the Italian side. "What former Liverpool team-mate would I bring to Juventus? I wouldn't want to offend some of my friends, but from Liverpool I would take Glen Johnson," Aquilani told Gazzetta dello Sport. Aquilani also reiterated his desire to make his loan move into a permanent deal. The former Roma midfielder struggled to establish himself on Merseyside last season and was allowed to go out on loan during the summer. Aquilani has recaptured his best form at Juve and he hopes to earn a permanent move to Turin. "I hope to convince the directors of Juventus to buy me from Liverpool," added Aquilani. At Juve I would like to open a new era with the team. "Sixteen million euros is a lot, but they can negotiate. "Juve was a huge opportunity for me, I could not lose it. Leaving Italy was not easy, I faced many life changes."
