Real Madrid have set Liverpool a deadline of two weeks for the Xabi Alonso transfer to be concluded.
Amid all the stars coming in to the Bernabeu, Los Merengues have been trying without success to secure Alonso's arrival.
Now, according to Football365.com, 'Pool have been given two weeks to name a price for Alonso, so that Madrid, who are yet to put in a bid, can decide whether or not to match it.
New Real coach Manuel Pellegrini is keen to sign a defensive midfielder, but is not willing to spend much more time waiting for Alonso. Therefore, he has instructed the club not to pursue the matter beyond July 19.
That is the day that Xabi returns for pre-season training, so Rafa Benitez will have to make a decision before Liverpool fly out for their summer tour of Asia.
