Liverpool suffered a last minute blow to their preseason preparations for the upcoming English Premier League season as star midfielder Xabi Alonso is headed to Real Madrid. Liverpool had tried to fend off Real Madrid and keep Xabi Alonso, but home called and Alonso requested to return to Spain.
With the EPL season less then two weeks away, it leaves a definite hole in the Liverpool midfield. Liverpool will open at Tottenham on Sunday August 16th then return to Anfield for the home opener against Stoke on Wednesday August 19th.
Adding the Xabi Alonso transfer to the mix, Real Madrid has spent $350 million this summer in the transfer market to add Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul Albiol, Esteban Granero, Arbeloa, Alvaro Negredo and Karim Benzema. Now the quest is to mold the group into a side that can play together as one.
