Rafa rubbishes Xabi exit talk
Rafa Benitez has rubbished suggestions he could be ready to offload Xabi Alonso this summer.
Alonso has been a key cog in the Liverpool machine since making the move to Anfield from Real Sociedad in 2004.
However, Benitez is planning a major overhaul of his playing staff this summer and reports have suggested the midfield schemer could be surplus to requirements.
Barcelona are admirers of Alonso and he has made it clear the Camp Nou club are close to his heart, but Benitez is not planning on allowing the Spain international to head away from Merseyside.
"He has two more years of contract and we are thinking about renewing his contract," Benitez, speaking on Sky Sports News, said of Alonso.
Benitez is set to be armed with a sizeable transfer kitty this summer, but he is still focused on handing his key men new deals and Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher are expected to agree fresh commitments in the near future. -
