Liverpool REPORTS in the Spanish and Italian media claim that Fiorentina could try and make a move for Xabi Alonso, in an attempt to foil a potential return to Liverpool for free next season.

The Real Madrid midfielder’s current contract expires next summer, but has so far been reluctant to pen a new deal at Santiago Bernabeu as he wants longer terms.

The former Liverpool favourite has been linked with an emotional return to Anfield on more than one occasion, as well as possible switches to Juventus or Chelsea.

But Spanish radio station Cadena SER believe that Fiorentina could now be in the driving seat after former Liverpool scout Eduardo Macia, who is now technical director at the Italian club, is reported to have contacted the player and his agent to try to convince the Basque to sign for their club, as reported on Tutto Sport.

Il Viola are said to be considering whether to send an offer now, in an attempt to hijack any potential Anfield return, or wait 10 months and try and persuade the 31-year-old to join them next summer on a free transfer.

Jimmy Areabi (Editor) - @fantasista1077: Huyton raised like Steven Gerrard, football has been my passion since the time I received a Kenny Dalglish badge as a toddler, and I've followed the Reds ever since – something that was easier during the 80s, when I worshipped John Barnes! I've produced work for many football media outlets & am now happy to run a major site on the club I love - providing our fans with a voice, and to bring as much information and news on the club as possible.
Having played football all my life, I aim to continue longer than Stanley Matthews...
