Good news!

REAL MADRID admitted last night there are limits to their spending spree, saying they are �very far away� from meeting Liverpool�s �35million asking price for Xabi Alonso.

General director Jorge Valdano said Real were also asked to pay �69m by Bayern Munich for Franck Ribery before July 16 or withdraw their interest in the winger.

�Xabi Alonso is a priority if he fits into our budget, but that does not seem to be the case,� said Valdano. �We are very far away from the figures that Liverpool have presented. Liverpool have taken up a difficult stance.�


Surprised to hear Real have a budget... I'd say they might go for Ribery first.
