Liverpool are set to lose Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid within the next few days and are targeting Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani as a replacement.
Alonso is set to complete his move to the Spanish giants at the start of next week, according to AS.
If reports are to be believed, the Spanish international will join Real Madrid for £32.7million + add-ons.
Rafa Benitez has sent agent and his personal friend Frank Trimboli to Italy to discuss a move with Roma for Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani.
“We need to be open and listen to any type of offers that are proposed to us,” Roma manager Luciano Spalletti said.
“We are not worried, we know what we need to do.
“There will probably be two or three transfer market deals done and I am convinced we will be able to work well.”

johnson carra agger aureli
young xabi alberto bable
gerrard
torres
Silva reyes will be perfect for liverpool..
Alonso y do u want to dispoint the club dat made u wat u are today.pool brough,t u get u more chances to play only for u to be in your peak and wants to dump the club who made u wat u are. Y not remain for just one seasom after we have won the epl then u can go like a hero which fan will never forget u.
Still sounds like Propaganda 2 me…
But on the flipside, somthin round 35mil is a gud price for a player that`s gettn old.
Alonso should although remain since he`s a vital part of the team. U can buy a new player but u can never garantee that he will settle in perfectly and quickly
Do it…Him and Silva for Xabi should be a definite yes
Xabi is great, but he’s getting older, and two player with as much quality as Alberto and Silva are worth it.
good deal liverpool we smart beacuse we getting to young players silva, Aquilani if he want to leave ight hope he player just like he did last year hope he have great season by by alonso we miss you man!
why dus everyone want silva n snjeider n silva? riera has been great for us n kuyt is practically essential to the squad, i dont get why you need more, weve scored plenty of goals, its tym to focus on defense, thts ahy rafa bought johnson
why does ever body like silva
because he can play winger or striker…so essentially we could use him as back up for torres or gerrard, plus have another option on the wing. That and he is just a quality player
Alonso is a good player we all know but if he insist to go,let he go.mikel arteta from everton is a good replacement.4rm nelson and ackist in nigeria.liverpool fans
if you sell alonso, you can get new alonso, after u don’t bring barry???
ok, please bring javi martinez too…
Bring cambiasso instead..
if u sell alonso or mascherano… sell higher price 5o-70million… n buy good player samet type like zapater (spain), javi martinez (spain), sneijer, m.diarra and l.diarra (real madrid), xavi (barcelona)..
i don’t think lucas can replace alonso or mascherano’s role… lucas must leran and learn to improve…
oh .. liverpool have darby (full back)…very talented… don’t forget, nemeth,hammil,mikel,atwi… i hope his can on liverpool first team forever..
