Latest Football Transfer Rumours | March 19


Latest Transfer Rumour - Real Madrid are set to offer Liverpool £100million for their two best players Steven Gerrad and Xabi Alonso.

Real Madrid was very impressed with Gerrard's performance when they lost to Liverpool 4-1 last week. They valued Gerrard at £80million.

Gerrard has two years left in his contract and expected to sign a new deal at the end of the season.

There will be some changes in Madrid's management team that somehow influence the move to sign Gerrard. Zinadine Zidane is in line to be hired as Real's sporting director, working alongside AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Zidane was very impressed with Gerrard and claimed Gerrard as the best player in the world.

Liverpool is certain to reject the offer. Gerrard is also very committed playing for Liverpool until he retires. However, that does not stop Real from trying to lure him away from Anfield with £80million offer.

Steven Gerrard is their primary target this summer. Xabi Alonsos is also not far further down the target list.

Real will also try to persuade Alonso back to Spain for £20million. Alonso has lost his position in the first team spot and it will be even more difficult next season as Benitez is expected to sign Gareth Barry from Aston Villa.
