Xabi Alonso's agent admits Liverpool will decide the midfielder's future at the end of the season.
The Spanish international's future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks with a number of clubs thought to be lining up summer moves for the player.
Real Madrid are thought to be leading the chase for Alonso with the 27-year-old thought to be one of presidental candidate Florentino Perez's top transfer targets if he gains control at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Alonso's agent Ignacio Ibanez has refused to confirm the player will remain at Anfield next season, admitting Liverpool will have the final say on any possible transfer.
"Many things could happen in the summer," Ibanez told the Daily Star.
"The first is to finish the season and after that to attend to other matters.
"Xabi has signed for three more years and his future depends on Liverpool."
obviously want him stay lar
fuck , i got a feeling Benitez will sell Xabi if price is right .
That Perez fella also filthy rich , any ridiculous price he also can .
Remember Zidane ?
Until now Zidane still the world record tranfer .
I think Alonso might want to go too because of the rotation policy.
With Rafa thinking of buying more midfielders like Barry and Downing, who knows if he will get to play more often?
Should we keep him? If he can fetch a good price, I say we sell.

If Rafa buys more and more players, you think he won't want to tinker and rotate again?
Then players will kpkb at not having enough playing time.
I think he should just buy less players and let the majority of the players play more of the games unless injured or suspended.
Why not convince Perez , Lucas is better than Alonso ????
Or at least bundle up with Alonso and sell for 25million and get Barry ?
and also fuck , with Lucas and Mascherano in Rafa's mind all the time , Alonso in danger of moving .
If Perez can pay 21.5 million for Valencia , i think we will sell Alonso at a even higher price .
actually .... come to think of it , we have Mascherano !! And Lucas as back up .
Addition to Barry , our midfield formation will be the best .
Our midfield also a bit congested , Yossi also can play anywhere . Plus Gerrard . Too many ... if we intend to get Barry .
Key is Lucas and Mascherano .
Alonso is a valuable player in the team...nah he shouldnt go...
His long range passing is very vital...as well as his outrageous half way line strikes and chips...
In my opinion, Lucas is just a bit better than an average player but is not in the same league as Alonso....a class of his own
Barry...man how many more years can he give his best to Liverpool if he transfers..he isnt a young player
Better to get a good winger n a forward to complement Torres
