The Spaniard, who left the Reds in 2009, was a fans favourite on Anfield as he allied his elegance on the ball with an unerring accuracy in front of goal.



Alonso is believed to be unhappy at the Bernebeu, and the La Liga giants are preparing for a frenetic summer window of activity.



And he has hinted that he could end his four-year association with the club come the end of the season.



According to Spanish paper El Periodico, Alonso has taken the decision not to renew his contract with Los Blancos.
