Xabi Alonso Makes Juve Call
AS en Ingles
Sunday, June 8th, 2008
Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has declared his firm interest in playing for Juventus next season. The player and the Italian giants have reportedly hammered out a contract for the player, consisting of 3.2 million Euros per season.
However, the Spanish playmaker will only arrive at Juventus if the two clubs in question can arrive at a deal for the player. It is being reported that Liverpool will only part ways with the Scouser if Juventus can offer the demanded 16 million Euros for the player.
In related news, Xabi Alonso, before his suspected move to Juventus, has made some questionable statements that Juventus supporters may not like.
In a recent interview with Liverpool TV, Alonso was asked about the Hillsborough Disaster and the consequences to the English game. "Well, the Hillsborough Disaster was truly a tragedy, one far greater and more important than, for instance, the Heysel Disaster," stated the Spaniard.
"In all honesty, it is my opinion that English clubs should not have been banned from Europe whatsoever because of that disaster. There were many drunk Italians at the stadium by reports, too" he concluded.
These comments might not sit well with Juventus supporters, but Alonso is eagerly looking forward to his new role at one of Italy's greatest clubs.
