Xabi Alonso has left all of Anfield agog by admitting he’s ready to quit. Apparently.

Chris Bascombe writes in this mornings News of the World:

“The Spanish midfielder is ready to hand in a written transfer request.

His agent Inaki Ibanez met Rafa Benitez on Friday to inform the manager of Alonso’s wish to leave. And despite the Merseyside giants insisting they do not want to sell him, Alonso’s stance will trigger an auction for the 27-year-old.

Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City and Juventus have tried to buy Alonso in the last 12 months and Madrid will be favourites this time.

But Benitez will start the bidding at £18million and use the cash to try to sign Manchester United’s Carlos Tevez.

Alonso’s relationship with Benitez deteriorated during the courting of Aston Villa’s Gareth Barry.”

Bascombe’s article also quotes from ‘a friend’ of Xabi, who said:

“Xabi loves Liverpool but he doesn’t feel he can stay. He has not been happy for a long time and wants to go somewhere he feels he can enjoy his football again.”

So today may not only be farewell to Sami Hyypia, it may also be farewell to our pass master Xabi Alonso too.

我厂用小巴西+5M换:D

嘿嘿,到底花落誰家呢?

皇马，阿森纳，曼城，尤文

这样看来还是皇马最有戏

我厂快买，再买一个中卫，下赛季基本够了。

真卖了的话贝秃子就继续**吧

为啥呢？他这赛季是首发多还是替补多？

我厂去年没卖成，今年不能再错过了啊~~

呃，不太符合皇马巨星政策吧？

佛主席點名了要阿隆索額:D
政策是國際巨星+西班牙本土球星
