Secco: Xabi Alonso? Better Than Flamini
Secco is currently working on bringing Xabi Alonso to Turin in order to bolster the Bianconeri's midfield ahead of next season, one that will see their return to the Champions League following a two year absence due to the Calciopoli scandal.
"He has something more than Flamini," explained the general director, who defended his decision to stop chasing the new Milan man and instead concentrate all of his attention on Xabi Alonso.
"The technical characteristics of the Spanish player are closer to our needs," he added.
The sensation in the Italian and English media is that an agreement will be reached in the coming days, with a possible fee of 17 million Euros that would satisfy both clubs.
However, Xabi, 26, is said to be happy to remain at Anfield, where he arrived in 2004 from Real Sociedad.
