Alonso submits transfer request

30 July 2009 - 10:35

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has submitted a transfer request, according to reports. It is understood that the Spaniard is frustrated that Liverpool have so far rejected the £24 million offer from Real Madrid.

Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham, Barcola & Munoz start

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Hull City, Lavia & James start

Reportedly, Real Madrid are not willing to match the £32 million valuation slapped on Alonso's head, and will only pay £24 million.



Therefore, the player has asked to be put on the transfer list and allowed to quit the club for Real Madrid at the earliest convenience.



Liverpool will now be forced to accept life without the midfielder.
