Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is eyeing Inter Milan midfielder Esteban Cambiasso.
AS says should Benitez sell Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, he will compete with Manchester City for Cambiasso.
City offered £15 million for the Argentina international last week, with personal terms worth £5 million-a-year. Inter, however, rate Cambiasso in the £25 million class.
