He was gone the second he handed in his transfere request. And I'm almost certain Balaque said that Xabi was still in Barcalona on SSN earlier.

Barcelona? What next, Masch to Madrid?

:laugh:

I think Xabi's gone. If the clubs are talking then they can't be too far apart in their valuations any more. I'd expect it to be sub £30m but with a lot of add ons so both clubs can appear victorious with the negotiations.

I think he meant the Xabi stayed in Barcelona last night (where we were playing) instead of coming home to Liverpool

Reports in Spain claim that Defour will be targeted by Real, if they fail to land Liverpool star Xabi Alonso.

Ironically, Defour is also linked with a switch to Anfield, if Alonso - as expected - departs for Real.

D'Onofrio, though, admits he is not shocked by the reports given Defour's standing as one of the most highly-rated young midfielders in world football.

But he insisted Standard will not be selling this summer.

"We haven't been contacted, but it won't surprise me if Steven is mentioned at Real," D'Onofrio told Het Laatste Nieuws.

"Zinedine Zidiane is an advisor of Real and he is following Defour since he gave him the Golden Boot (for best player in Belgium).

"We are very proud Steven is wanted in the market.

"Defour is ready for a top team, but because of that we won't let him leave.

"Defour is part of the backbone of our squad. He is not for sale, we won't talk about a transfer."

I think he's on the booze when he writes stuff like that in his articles, but in this case, I'd believe what he says. He's usually mostly correct when it comes to dealings with us and Spanish sides. He got it right with Torres, and he got it right with Villa last year.

According to the normally reliable Guardian he will jetting out to Norway with the rest of the team tomorrow

Liverpool have told Real Madrid there will be no compromise over their asking price for Xabi Alonso as the Spanish midfielder prepares to join Rafael Benítez's team in Norway tonight rather than seal a protracted move to the Bernabéu.

Alonso was allowed to remain in Spain following Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Espanyol on Sunday, along with several compatriots from Benítez's squad. The 27-year-old is expected to travel with Liverpool to Oslo this evening, however, ahead of a friendly against FC Lyn tomorrow night, as Real have yet to meet the Anfield club's £30m valuation of the influential playmaker.

The saga of Alonso's future appeared close to conclusion after a meeting between Liverpool's new managing director, Christian Purslow, and the executive director-general of Real, José Angel Sánchez, in Barcelona on Sunday. But the meeting merely impressed on Real that only an offer of £30m, plus additional bonus payments, would tempt Liverpool to sell at this late stage in the close season. Purslow has confirmed there was no agreement during his meeting with Sánchez. "This [meeting] has only served to put our positions on the table. We need to continue talking," he said.

Real had not returned with an improvement on their existing £25m bid by close of business yesterday, although sources in Madrid claim the club's president, Florentino Pérez, believes it remains a case of when and not if Alonso becomes his latest signing.
