Liverpool midfielder heading for Milan?

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has today been linked with a move to Italian giants Inter Milan. The Spanish international looks more and more likely to leave Anfield this summer as Rafa Benitez sets his sights on bringing in a new central midfield player to replace Alonso. (Press Association)



With Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard looking as though he will stay at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho looks to now change his attentions to Alonso. The former Real Sociedad midfielder looked set to join fellow Serie A side Juventus earlier this summer, but for whatever reason a £16 million move collapsed.

I personally think Alonso is a quality player who I feel Liverpool should seriously consider keeping. The 26-year old has been a terrific player for Liverpool over the past four years and I am sure every Liverpool fan will be sad to see him leave, if he does indeed decide to go.
