Xabi Alonso is now Real Madrid player

Xabi Alonso is a new player and Real Madrid, the conductor that Florentino Perez wanted to put the whole play signings he has brought to the Spanish capital.

It is one of the players in which more effort has been made, but which has cost more. After what was a relatively simple signing of Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo (normal, since the release egregious that he left the club), has cost nearly a month that the natural de Tolosa (Guipúzcoa) reached the white club. And that already in 2004 when still part of the staff of the Royal Society, which is now in second division.

But then the interest from Real Madrid midfielder was undergoing a Frenchman named Patrick Vieira and Xabi Alonso went to start the journey in Spanish Liverpool, historic club and took away the Champions League to Real Madrid in 1981. In England he formed a name and got to be an idol of the masses, starting the path that would Luis Garcia, Rafael Benitez and, finally, Fernando Torres, in a club that is experiencing a new golden years.

Indeed, Rafa Benitez, many years linked with Real Madrid, has been the most impaired has laid signing of Xabi Alonso. The English club asked for 40 million euros, but Real Madrid did not want to pay as much as the player pressed to let him go, which I do not finish like in the world of sport, as it removes the player professionalism. As in any other work, contracts are to meet them.

In addition, Xabi Alonso is a fixture in the national team. Real Madrid more Spanish still trying staff (Negredo, stay).
