LIVERPOOL have slapped a huge £16million price
tag on Juventus target Xabi Alonso. The Italians had director
general Jean-Claude Blanc in Merseyside yesterday to try and broker
a deal for the 26-year-old Spanish midfielder.
But the Anfield club will not do business unless Juve
meet their asking price. And if they fail to tempt Aston Villa into
selling Gareth Barry, they will knock the deal on the head
entirely.
A famous Liverpool name is back on the club’s books
after striker THOMAS INCE — the 16-year-old son of
Paul — joined as a first-year academy trainee.
