All-conquering Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso looks set to turn down a two-year contract extension at Real Madrid in order to leave the club next summer.

The former Liverpool star - who has won the World Cup, European Championship, La Liga and the Champions League in a stellar career - will see his Bernabeu contract expire in two years.With the 30-year-old's value depreciating rapidly and with Madrid not short of midfield options they could be willing to cash in on one of their prize assets, according to Sport.

Liverpool would be interested in bringing the former Real Sociedad schemer back to Anfield, while Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal may also be tempted to make an offer.

Brilliant player but I don't think we should look back to the past. I'm torn on this one as I love Alonso and what he did for us.

He'll go back and play for one of the Basque clubs - a gentleman and a scholar, I wish him all the best..

Get Fazs to give him a ring and get the lowdown

*cough* Marko

I hardly expect him to go to anybody other than Liverpool if he moves back to the EPL.

What a signing he would be. We can dream can't we?

Xabi and lucas in the middle of the park. Wow.

nah let him go to italy. been there done that, and it was brilliant, but lets move on.

Having signed Allen why would we sign Xabi?
