Agent: Alonso stays at Madrid

By Football Italia staff

Xabi Alonso’s agent has denied rumours that Napoli have made an offer for his client.

With Toni Kross joining the European champions from Bayern Munich this afternoon, speculation has been rife that the Spain international will leave Santiago Bernabeu, with his place in the starting XI in doubt.

Stories emerged this afternoon that Rafa Benitez would be interested in reuniting with his former Liverpool midfielder.

But the player’s representative has insisted that is not the case.

“I want to deny rumours that there has been any contact with Napoli,” Inaki Ibanez told EuropaCalcio.

“They have never been in contact with us. I can assure you that Xabi will remain with Real Madrid.”
