Breaking News: Alonso asks to leave

Xabi Alonso is reported to have handed in an official transfer request at Liverpool as he seeks to secure a switch to Real Madrid.

The Liverpool Echo claims that the Spain international midfieder has informed Anfield officials in writing that he wishes to leave the Premier League club for the Bernabeu.

The Spanish giants have been very public in their pursuit of the midfielder and on Wednesday there were reports that he had been given 48 hours to make a decision on his future.

Now it just remains for Real to make a bid acceptable to Liverpool, who want upwards of £25million for the Euro 2008 winner.
