  • Benitez told The Independent: "(Alonso) is our player, he has a contract. Barry can play in three different positions, so I don't think we need to worry about this."



    There have been rumours that Alonso is reportedly unhappy at Liverpool and at his lack of opportunities in the first-team, despite regularly appearing this year. No official word has come from the club or player regarding this.



    Alonso is valued at around £12 million.
