Real Madrid have reportedly offered Alvaro Negredo and cash to Liverpool in exchange for midfielder Xabi Alonso.

The Spanish club have already had a couple of bids for the Spaniard turned down and this is thought to be the last option in their pursuit of him.

Marca reports that first they had a €24 million bid rejected, then a €35 million bid including Alvaro Arbeloa turned down, and now they are ready to offer the €41 million Liverpool want.

It is reported the new offer consists not only cash, but also Negredo, who Rafael Benitez has been an admirer of for some time.

The Liverpool boss believes that the former Almeria man would be an ideal signing to play alongside Fernando Torres and is keen to bring him to Anfield.

Reports state that the player's agents, Juanma Lopez and Alejandro Camano, have been in England discussing terms with Liverpool and also Tottenham Hotspur.

As well as the two Premier League clubs, Roma and Genoa are both said to be interested in Negredo and it is not clear where his future lies at the moment.
