Why I bother to post this rumour? because it doesn't come from Marca, but from a local newspaper that has good contacts. If you see what I mean I rate Marca as the Mirror, and the local newspaper would be more accurate like the Liverpool echo or something.
According to this newspaper Capello is very interested on Alonso and they're ready to pay big money for him, it's going to be their main target. Plus the offer will be made in the next few days.
I'd like to know how well protected is Alonso, i.e, how much it's his release clause.
I don't fear Xabi wanting to leave to Madrid, he says he's happy in Liverpool in English, in Spanish, in the local radio and TV. But Madrid has fresh TV money, and I'm worried Parry will be tempted to accept an astronomic amount from him.
Hope not...
