Open Game, Real Madrid Still Eyeing Xabi Alonso

Real Madrid still looking for additional midfielder, but it may not be Cesc Fabregas... It is Xabi Alonso there are looking for.

We all know that Real Madrid is loooking for Alonso this summer, but Rafa is the wall. Madrid have tried many times but Rafa... will do his best not to let it happened.

"Madrid must not discard an option until it's totally gone," Miguel Pardeza-Madrid's new sporting director is quoted as saying by Reuters.

"There is an insurmountable financial barrier at the moment, but it's something that could change.

"We're looking at other options, although there aren't many."

Madrid's director general Jorge Valdano explained earlier this week that Fabregas is too similar to Kaka in his style for Madrid to need him and Pardeza reiterated that the Arsenal star is not being looked at.

"He is a great player, there's no doubt about that, but at this moment he is not a target for Real Madrid," he continued.

"The club is working on other alternatives."
