It's the news that Anfield Online told you about nearly a month ago and today Real Sociedad confirmed that they had received an offer from Liverpool for Spanish International Xabi Alonso.

"Liverpool representatives have been in San Sebastian where they met Real Sociedad executives," read the statement.

"In the meeting the English representatives showed their interest in signing the player and at the same time the Spanish club expressed an interest in selling the player."

The bid is believed to be just less than £11 million. Hopefully the deal can go through this week.
