Senna's Agent Slams Xabi Alonso
Marcos Senna's agent has possibly stirred up some disharmony in the Spain camp by declaring that his client is twice as good as Xabi Alonso...
The agent appears to be embittered by the fact that Juventus have made a move for Xabi Alonso instead of Marcos Senna.
Speaking to CalcioMercato, agent José Manuel Butragueño said, "Two months ago I spoke with (Juventus boss Claudio) Ranieri.
"He said they were looking for a player of Senna's style, yet today they want Liverpool's Xabi Alonso. I find that amazing.
"Senna's better than Alonso, and with the Spanish national side he is ahead of him.
"I think the fact that their interest has dampened must be political. Juventus want to pay twice as much for a player who is worse than Senna."
Senna, 31, has been at Villarreal since 2002. A naturalised Spaniard, he has been an international since just prior to the 2006 World Cup.
Alonso, meanwhile, is likely to move to Turin after Euro 2008 after Liverpool agreed to sell him to the Old Lady.
