Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez wants Xabi Alonso to go public with his plans.

Real Madrid remain keen on Xabi and after victory over Singapore, Benitez said: "It's a question that you have to ask him.

"Honestly, we've been talking about this for two months but I think that it is a question for him and not for us.

"He has three years on his contract and we know he is a great player - that's why we signed him and renewed his contract. So you have to ask him."
