Real Madrid are launching a triple raid on Liverpool.
Sport says Real are ready to offer £60 million for midfield pair Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso, along with fullback Alvaro Arbeloa.
However, the offer still falls short of Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez's valuation, who rates Mascherano and Xabi at £35 million each and Arbeloa at £8 million.
Benitez has already rejected a separate £3 million offer from Real for Arbeloa this week.
wow
Ben , reject Alonso BId ty...
since RM is willing to pay for 60m why not consider asking them to up the bid by another 10m, make it 70m. 70ms plus 20m, 90m warchest to buy villa, silva, why not.
liverpool cannot do that, midfield cannot tahan without mascherano or alonso

got lucas 
they should have buy barry for 12m. instead he joined city. what took them so long to bid for him?
with 90m dosh, can buy few midfielders like De Rossi, Pirlo,, Silva and Villa.
losing the two of them is a great blow i agree. but with 90m, can start to replace them with decent midfielders and also buy silva and villa too.
later keep on reject, nobody want to buy arbeloa = sit on bench.

RM shd get essien lar seriously rather than alonso. alonso position is similar to kaka isnt it. Essien is so much better than that Diarra as defensive midfielder.
try to sign carvalho as well lar.
....so little money want to buy liverpool top players...u think Liverpool Stupid huh RM.

kaka's position is something like gerrard's, alonso's position rather more defensive kind, but i guess rafa played him abit further rather than deeper.
based on the new tax rule, all the high earners gonna suffered a high pay reduction. 50% of the weekly salary go to the government...no wonder Spain league is trying to get all the top players from BPL.
IMO, £60 million for the trio is already an over-valuation, let alone the valuation from Rafa which is totally unrealistic (Alonso for £35 million? One season ago he was almost released to Juventus for less than £20 million).
Rafa think RM like Man City ah? So good to cut carrot head.
Real Madrid are keen to delay their deal for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.
The Daily Mail says Real Madrid want to delay their offer for Xabi to prevent Real Sociedad claiming 20 per cent of any transfer fee.
Sociedad's agreement with Liverpool is believed to run out on July 18 and Madrid see it as an obstacle with Anfield's valuation at £35m and their last offer at £25m. The two clubs are prepared to negotiate and Alonso is expected to declare he wants to leave.
Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso wants a move to Real Madrid not to be drawn out.
Xabi has reportedly told his agent he wants his future resolved by July 19.
The Liverpool midfielder, who has been on international duty with Spain at the Confederations Cup in South Africa, met his representative Inaki Ibanez immediately after flying back to Madrid yesterday.
Real Madrid hope to sign the 27-year-old, but face a determined effort by Anfield boss Rafael Benitez to keep him.
Alonso went straight to lunch with Ibanez at Madrid's Hotel Melia Barajas after getting off a 10-hour flight from Johannesburg.
The former Real Sociedad player is said to be keen on a move to the Bernabeu and, after the meeting, told Spanish newspaper AS: "I don't know what will happen. The clubs now have to negotiate."
Juventus fans want Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso and Corinthians defender Andre Santos to be signed this summer.
A poll held by a big Juve fans website vecchiasignora.com attracted almost 10,000 signatures in just a few days urging the club's board to shell out for Xabi and Andre Santos.
Only yesterday, Brazil fullback Andre Santos admitted a desire to move to Turin, while Juve are planning swap talks with Liverpool for Xabi.
three of them = 75% of Cristiano Ronaldo
ahahahaha
