Juventus have held talks with Xabi Alonso’s agent yesterday, according to Football Italia. The Spanish midfielder could move to Turin this summer if the two clubs agree a transfer fee, but it looks like personal terms are close to being agreed.
Juventus representatives and Alonso’s agent agreed on the length of the contract, but according to Football Italia a salary has not been agreed. While Juventus are prepared to offer Alonso £2.5 million per year, the Spanish midfielder, who is thought to be happy at Anfield will look for something closer to and annual salary £3 million.
The same Football Italia thinks that a transfer fee has not been agreed between the two clubs with Juventus willing to pay something in the region of £12 million while Liverpool are demanding £18 million for their play maker. However reports in England suggest that a transfer fee of £16 million has been agreed.
