The Spaniard has seen a possible move to Juventus hit the buffers after the Italian giants signed Christian Poulsen from Sevilla.
However, reports continue to suggest that Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is prepared to sell Alonso to fund his own spending plans.
Alonso is rated in the £14million bracket and has now been linked with a move to the Reds' Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Up to Liverpool
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is in the market for a midfielder after losing Mathieu Flamini, while Gilberto Silva is set to join Panathinaikos.
Reports in Spain suggest contact has been made between the two clubs and the 26-year-old's agent Inaki Ibanez says the player is waiting for Liverpool's decision.
"The player knows about this subject and now the decision lies with Liverpool," Ibanez told Spanish newspaper Publico.
Alonso's sale would give Benitez the funds to sign Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal
the transfer market is getting all entangle up!.
arsenal want to buy either alonso or barry.
If liverpool cannot get barry, they wont sell alonso.
But aston villa not interested to sell barry!= no sale for everyone!!
Villa want to sell, only the price to agree on...
Liverpool because of Juve pullout on Alonso, now got problem to buy...
Arsenal, no apple orange also can... bo Barry Alonso also not bad lor...
I think the poor sucker in this whole sorry affair is Barry...
Almost 10 yrs service, Club captain, Fans hero... Now seen as a real villain and not just a "Villa Villain" anymore... All his yrs of good service has gone down the drain with the way he behaved this past 20 days...
Now he is forced to go back and face O'Neill and the rest of his team-mates and train with the reserved and left behind while the rest of his team-mates go to Denmark to train...
What a sorry sucker he has become... ![]()
