Liverpool Ace Xabi Alonso’s Agent Rubbishes Juventus Link


Reports in The Daily Mirror claim that Juventus might launch a fresh bid for Liverpool midfield star Xabi Alonso this summer after failing to land the 27-year-old last year.

The Bianconeri seemed on the verge of securing the services of the former Real Sociedad man last summer, but the transfer eventually fell through and they plumped for Danish international Christian Poulsen, amid protests from the fans who had set their sights on the classy Spanish international.

However, the player’s agent has quickly moved to quash the rumours that his client is on his way out of Anfield.

“I don’t know anything about these reports,” agent Ignacio Ibanez insisted on Calciomercato.it.

“It is true that we negotiated his possible move to Juve last year, but we are talking about last summer. I have not spoken with Juve directors since.”
