Alberto Aquilani's agent has ruled out a permanent move to Serie A.
The Liverpool midfielder has spent much of his Reds career out on loan in Italy with the likes of Juventus and AC Milan.
Neither side were willing to make the season-long loan moves permanent due to his injury record, and the 27-year-old's agent Franco Zavaglia claims that his client could have a future at Anfield.
"At the moment Aquilani is a Liverpool player and will certainly start pre-season training with them, then we'll see what happens," Zavaglia told TMW.
"The new manager will decide whether to keep him or not. I don't think he's coming back to Italy and he hasn't expressed any particular preference, but this time I hope Liverpool can tell us in time if he's not part of their plans so we can find him the right club.
"Recently, apart from a slight ankle sprain, Aquilani has had no major fitness problems. The real problems were when he had ankle surgery at Liverpool."
Aquilani joined Liverpool from Roma for a fee of £20m back in 2009.
