Pay per Head Sportsbooks: Ancelotti wants Alonso to sign a new deal at Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti and many pay per head sportsbooks want to see Xabi Alonso commit his future to Real Madrid, as the player’s contract is set to expire when the season comes to an end.

Price per head services saw that the Spain midfielder did not play this season until October 30 after receiving two operations during pre-season to take care of a fractured metatarsal and a groin injury.

But since his return, the player stressed his side’s importance, and coach Ancelotti wants Alonso to sign a new deal at Real Madrid.

“I have spoken with Xabi Alonso just to tell him that everyone wants him to stay, the coach, the other players, the club,” the Italian said. “After that he will have to make the best decision for him.”

Pay per head sportsbooks saw that since 2009, the 32-year-old player was with Real, as he left Liverpool to go back to Spain.

Ancelotti’s players did not lose since Alonso’s return, and pay per had sportsbooks found out that the coach is delighted with the way that things are shaping up before their match with Osasuna.

“At the moment we are looking solid and there is a good chemistry in the changing room among the players, so I think we will perform differently,” he added.

“I won’t change the starting line-up much. I think the players have recovered well after Tuesday’s match (a 2-0 UEFA Champions League win over Copenhagen).

“We know that tomorrow’s (Saturday’s) match will definitely be a difficult match, so we have to give the best of ourselves because this game traditionally has been very tough for Real Madrid, but if we play at our best we can win.

“The team’s attitude on the pitch is good, we are solid in defence, we are playing with a clear style, it’s an excellent moment for Real Madrid.

“Now we must carry on like this, because the season is very long and we must give some continuity to our style of football and the results with the attitude we have adopted.”
