Liverpool's Spain international midfielder Xabi Alonso said this Monday that he did not know whether or not he would be moving to Real Madrid his summer.
Speaking in the Monday edition of sports paper el Mundo Deportivo, Alonso, who scored the winning goal in Spain's 3-2 win over South Africa on Sunday, denied that a deal had been struck with the Spanish side.
Real Madrid has already spent an incredible 175 million euros on the combined signings of Brazilian midfielder Kaka, striker Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and Valencia defender Raul Albiol.
Now they are thought to also want Alonso to play in central midfield and it is thought that the 27-year old would cost a further 40 million euros.
However, if that is the case, Alonso says he knows nothing.
"Not even I know whether or not I will play for Real Madrid next season," he told the newspaper.
Alonso may not have his future certain, but Real Madrid have already made plans for the near future. This Tuesday Kaka is to be officially presented to the fans in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium at nine o'clock in the evening.
On Thursday it will be Albiol's turn to be paraded before his new fans, before giving his first press conference as a new Real Madrid player.
Both players as well as Ronaldo will probably make their Real Madrid debuts in the Peace Cup, which is being played in Madrid and various grounds in Andalusia at the end of July.
Meanwhile Real Madrid is still thought to be chasing the signings of striker David Villa, who would cost around 50 million euros from Valencia, as well as Frank Ribery from Bayern Munich.
