Benitez: Alonso Will Stay
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has reiterated that he wants to keep Xabi Alonso at Anfield.
The midfielder has been linked with Juventus and Arsenal throughout the summer transfer window and
it was thought he could leave to finance a move for Aston Villa's Gareth Barry.
However, with a deal for Barry having been ruled out last week, Benitez has confirmed he will not
be allowing Alonso to leave in any deadline day deal.
