Alonso refuses to rule out move

Mon 29 Jun, 05:06 PM


Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has refused to rule out a move away from the club amid speculation that Real Madrid are keen to secure his services.

The 27-year-old appears to be a wanted man just a year after Liverpool looked set to offload him to Juventus to allow them to sign Gareth Barry.

But after that deal fell through, Alonso enjoyed one of his best seasons in a Liverpool shirt, although he is coy about what the future has in store this time around.

"I don't close any door in that area, so we'll see what happens," was the player's response to questions about his future. "Last year I was close to joining Juventus, I do not have a defined career plan. It is always good that several clubs want you - it's better than no-one wanting you - but I can't do too much about it.

"I know that I have to do my work well and, in the future, I'll decide what I have to decide."

Alonso has also revealed that his relationship with manager Rafa Benitez does not extend beyond the pitch, telling Spain's Don Balon magazine: "My relationship with Benitez is professional, like he has with any other player. I leave it at that - professional."

  4. Please stay Alonso. After a great season you have had,­ why would u want to go to Real Madrid. Stay at­ Liverpool and help us win trophies, especially the­ Premier League.

  5. If Alonso will stay at Liverpool, he would be the real­ professional one! After these comments. But I think he­ leaves Anfield. But the Prem League Title are coming! I­ think for him is better to stay, win the prem in 2010­ and be a legend with the Reds! Far better than win­ nothing with Madrid. This year Real Madrid got 0-1(h),­ 4-0(a)! After one year it will be almost the same! Not­ much difference! Maybe a 2-2(h), 1-0(a)! Liverpool will­ be massive this year! So, for Alonso, it's better­ to stay!

  6. Raul Albiol,Alvaro Arbeloa,Xabi Alonso&David Villa­ along with the spanish players that are already playing­ for madrid Iker Casillas,Sergio Ramos,Miguel­ Torres,Guti,Ruben Del La Red & Raul that makes­ round about 10 spanish players not to mention players­ that are on loan or that are on the bench so i­ can't wait for real madrid to be back to the­ spanish/latino team that they should be. oh yh and i do­ know that spanish people are latino what i mean by­ latino players i mean­ spanish,italian,portuguese&all those south american­ countries

  8. Oh no, I should have not said that, I don't hate­ madrid, I love madrid. AAHHHR my mind is going craizy,­ I have mental problems, and I don't know what­ I'm saying. Foregive me, I'm really sorry, I­ don't want to say anthing bad about Madrid or­ Barcelona.

  9. Don't get me wrong madrid fans, I love madrid. I­ just hate the idea of bringing alonso and getting rid­ of mamudo diara because that would look like racist. I­ love to for alonso to come to madrid, but we should get­ rid of guti because he suxks, and mamudo is a great­ player, or is it because he is black and on top of that­ he is muslim too, and that is why madrid want to­ replace him. I can't think of any other ideas why­ would madrid want to sell mamaudo diara, he is a great­ player, we all know that. Also the fact with drenthe,­ madrid fans booing him, why? He is a good player, and­ he is still young, and still madrid fans boo him, why?­ Because he is black. I'm black myself and I want­ this racism in madrid to stop. I hate madrid for being­ racist.

  15. if alonso want`s to go f**k him off. alonso is a great­ player and i`d love him to stay
    but rafa was selling­ him because in 2007-08 alonso was sh**e. alonso then­ had the hump with rafa because of this so to prove rafa­ wrong, a season later alonso becomes liverpool 2nd­ best player behind gerrard. so this proves that rafa­ was right, either shape up or get out. and look at the­ result of that alonso was superb last season.
    but if­ alonso doesn`t like it then fine let him go.
    also £35m­ isn`t to much for a player like alonso. hargreaves­ £20m, carrick £18m, bent £18m, fellani £16m, david­ silva £25m (priced at) , fabregas £30m(priced at) all­ these players are nowhere near alonso`s class.

  16. I think he might leave. I remember reading Benitez fell­ out with Robbie Keane and thats what lead to him­ leaving.

    Now the rumor is both Mascherano and Alonso­ want to leave because they can't get along with­ Benitez.

    Mascheranos agent has been very vocal about­ Mascherano wanting to leave and Alonso obviously wants­ to go as well.

    It's strange though they seemed to­ be doing so well only months ago. I think both of them­ will be gone by the beginning of the next season­ though.

    As for all the people complaining about the­ racism in football comments. Wake up there is defintely­ elements of racism in football and especially Spanish­ football. I don't think its relevant to this­ situation in particular at all but the point about­ racism in football is very relevant because it­ certainly exists.

  17. getachew44 what the hell has happend to you, it is like­ you are a different person. suddenly you are talking­ absolute rubbish. what is this about real not wanting­ black players. They signed lassana diarra 6 months ago­ and he aint actually white is he???

    From Raimo K, on Mon 29 Jun 6:06PM
  18. Getachew44, yes, that was the plan all along. Years in­ the making so that we don't figure it out. You are­ an idiot. Btw, I'm black...

  19. Benitez should allow alonso to leave but i think that­ £35 million pound is far to much as Benitez was going­ to let him go to Juventus for around £17 million­ pound.& i dont see what it matters what colour a­ player is as real have shown an interest in essien its­ a case if you are good enough or not...............A­ REAL FAN
