Manuel Pellegrini, the coach of Real Madrid, reaffirmed that his club’s interest in Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso yet reports suggest that there could be other clubs interested in buying him.
Sources reports that the Chelsea and the Manchester City have been in contact with Xabi Alonso’s agent to enquire about the current status.
Till now Real Madrid have refused to meet the price asked. It is around £30m. In an interview Pellegrini said, “Alonso is a very good player, but I do not know now what is going to happen. He is a Liverpool player, but we will see what happens in the future. He is a player that I like, but I cannot speak about players who are not at Real Madrid now.”
Alonso previously had spoken on his interest in the Madrid. Now he hopes to discuss the situation with Benitez while Liverpool are on their Far East tour.
