Juve want Alonso

The Serie A side were linked with Alonso last Summer before withdrawing their interest but the Basque's excellent form this season has seen him linked with them again.

Last Summer Rafael Benitez was prepared to let Alonso go but has already stated his desire to keep him at Anfield after possibly his best ever campaign for Liverpool.

"For the Juventus central midfield, I would try to bring in Alonso," said Juve agent Ernesto Bronzetti.

There was a long chase last summer for his signature, of course, so it is a road we know.

"Pairing him with Sissoko would be a title-winning midfield.

"The problem is that it would be very hard and expensive to take such an important player away from Liverpool.

"Benitez considers him fundamental to the way they play."
