Benitez must fight to keep Alonso at Liverpool

Liverpool fight for Alonso

The Liverpool boss has to fight against the ever Rich Real Madrid to keep Alonso. The Liverpool boss is trying his best to keep away from a lucrative 30 million big from the high spending Real Madrid. Benitez claims that he has the funds to sign another player but resists on letting anyone out. On the other hand Mascherano is on high alert with the European Champions trying to get their man.

Loosing either one of his midfield men could cause huge problems for the Spaniard as their partnership had caused a lot of problems for Manchester United in the previous season. With the financial crisis Liverpool is facing right now it could be a difficult task for Benitez to handle.

Valdano seems confident of being able to sign Arbeloa, telling Spanish newspaper AS: “The lad only has a year left on his contract with Liverpool, and this gives us more possibilities.

“He can play in two or three positions, and this versatility is good. He is another option to evaluate.”

“(He is) excellent. He`s a perfectionist, working down to the smallest detail that you can imagine,” said the Argentina captain, whom Benitez has valued at £50million in an attempt to ward off European champions Barcelona.

“Fortunately he has renewed his contract, meaning his ties to the club continue – and this will give more calm to everybody.

“I feel comfortable at Liverpool, but it’s always good to know that teams like Barca and Madrid are interested in you.”
