Chelsea and Liverpool target Xabi Alonso interesting Italian giants Juventus
JUVENTUS are interested in signing former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, with a Real Madrid contract extension unlikely.
The Reds and Chelsea
were both interested in bringing the 31-year-old back to the Premier
League in the summer, however Alonso ruled out the possibility of that
happening.
According to Tuttosport the Serie A champions are keen to bring the midfielder to Italy in January and will offer him a two-year deal.
Juventus
see the Real Madrid man as the perfect replacement for veteran Andre
Pirlo, whose contract is also set to expire at the end of this season.
Pirlo, now 34, is yet to decide if he will continue playing beyond the current campaign after two-years with Bianconeri.
Madrid
president Florentino Perez, who smashed the world transfer record last
month with the £85m addition of Tottenham's Gareth Bale, will demand at
least a €6m fee for Alonso.
