Liverpool legend to return to Anfield?
Real Madrid set to offload Xabi Alonso after concerns over the midfielders weight
Real Madrid are said to be considering offers for Xabi Alonso as the club are concerned about the midfielders weight. Alonso has fallen down the pecking order at Real after the arrival of World Cup winner Tony Kroos.
According to El Confidencial the club are said to be concerned about Alonso's lack of fitness and also the amount of weight the midfielder has lost during pre season. Carlo Ancelotti is supposedly worried about the lack of strength showed by Alonso in training.
As brought to you by SillySeason earlier Madrid are interested in Wolfsburg's Luiz Gustavo and it seems the defencive Brazilian would be brought in to replace the outgoing Alonso. The midfielder wouldn't be short of suitors as linking up with Rafa Benitez will always be an option for Alonso. Also a return to Liverpool would be more than welcomed by fans as Alonso is a Liverpool legend.
The question is though would Alonso prefer a move to the fast pace of the Premier League or a move to the Serie A were the play isn't as fast paced. Also linking up with former Madrid team mates Higuain, Callejon and Albiol would help Alonso settle in at Napoli.
