Xabi Alonso


Juventus Strike Deal With Liverpool For Alonso

Juventus have agreed a deal with Liverpool over Xabi Alonso according to Il Corriere Dello Sport and the player's arrival is imminent.

Xabi Alonso will be a juventus player next season after Jean Claude Blanc agreed a deal with Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez over the Spanish midfielder.

The Old Lady has been involved in on-going talks with the Reds for almost a month now and they have finally settled on a fee.

It is reported that the Merseyside club have agreed to an €18m offer from the Bianconeri and Blanc is set to fly to Liverpool within the next few hours to add the final touches to the deal and it’s is likely that Alonso’s move will be officially announced over the weekend.

Juve are still looking to strengthen despite Alonso’s likely arrival and their attentions have now turned to Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.

According to Corriere, the 24-year-old defender is a target for Juve as they prepare to add to their backline for next season’s Champions League.

The Old Lady has returned to Europe's best club competition after a two year absence and they want to ensure they have a talented squad able to challenge for all the major honours next term.
