Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City again linked with ex-Liverpool star

Real Madrid have offered Xabi Alonso to Chelsea, the Daily Star say.

Manchester United and Manchester City are also said to have been offered the chance to sign the former Liverpool midfielder, who has been tipped to leave the Bernabeu this month.

It is claimed that United are not looking to sign him but that City boss Manuel Pellegrini is potentially interested.

Alonso, 32, played under Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Real and has been repeatedly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

The player is reported to currently be earning £140,000 a week.

Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien is being linked with a move to United Arab Emirates club Al Ain.
