With 7 bijuu sealed inside all he had to do was seal the statue with Totsuka. If possible, game over. He never did that. Either it wasn't possible or he was negligent in his duty. Did he now? Because last I checked The statue was only present where the jinchuriki was being sealed. So he didn't had that chance, especially when Nagato could reverse summon it any time itachi would have attempted something like that plus after that(failed Attempt) his cover would have been blown off and he would be hunted by both Akatsuki and Leaf.
