Rafa Benitez has confirmed that he would only sell Xabi Alonso for the ‘right price’. And it would take a ‘massive offer’ to prize away the Spaniard.
Speculation has surrounded Alonso all summer, with Arsenal and Juventus strongly linked.
“I explained to him why I needed money for signing other players,” said Benitez.
“He can understand if you have (Javier) Mascherano, Lucas, Steven Gerrard and then Plessis, you have four other midfielders and maybe you can sell one player.
“When I was first talking with Xabi (about a transfer) we needed money. After these months it is not a question of money. We would have to have a massive offer because Alonso is a great player.
“But if we sell one or two players we have enough money to bring in one more good player.
“Don’t forget we will need eight British players - and the left-footer we were talking about can play in three positions too.”
