Real Madrid Hierarchy Calls For Patience Over Anfield Raid


Real Madrid’s director of institutional relations Emilion Butragueno, has suggested the club have not given up their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, but called for patience amid reports the Premier League side are digging their heals in over the 27-year-old’s valuation.

Butragueno told Sky Sports: “There are many weeks remaining,”

“We must show patience. There is time.”

Alonso is reportedly keen to leave the club, and yesterday Spanish based journalist Guillem Balague intimated the player and his manager Rafa Benitez had fallen out, suggesting their relationship had reached “breaking point”.
