Alonso out – Baptista/Heinze in
Posted by Si on December 31, 2007
The Sunday papers are full of speculation linking Liverpool and Real Madrid with a big money and player swap deal.
Xabi Alonso is apparently homesick (despite being here for over 2 years now) and Real Madrid are prepared to offer a combination of cash and/or Baptista/Heinze.
Rafa Benitez has tracked Argentina defender Heinze since it became apparent he wanted out of United in the summer.
Heinze alone would not be enough for Benitez to do business, but the addition of Baptista would apparently tempt him.
Baptista, who spent last season on loan at Arsenal, has just reclaimed his spot in the Real starting line-up and scored a wonder goal against archrivals Barcelona last week.
