Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa is keen to leave Anfield according to his agent. Spanish giants Real Madrid have confirmed their interest in Arbeloa and his representative Manuel Garcia Quilon believes the Reds should let him move on.

"Alvaro has a year left on his current deal and Rafa Benitez knows that it's best to let him go now," Garcia Quilon told the Sunday Mirror.

"The career of a football player has many stages and he is qualified to play anywhere."
