Real deal: City and Chelsea wait in the wings as Madrid stall on Liverpool's Xabi Alonso
Chelsea and Manchester City are in the hunt again for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, whose proposed move to Real Madrid has stalled.
The Barclays Premier League pair have been back in touch with Alonso's agent, having first made contact with him a month ago.
Alonso spoke of his wish to move to the Bernabeu before joining up with the Liverpool squad in Austria on Sunday.
The Spain midfielder watched his club's defeat by Rapid Vienna before flying to the Far East for the games against Thailand on Wednesday and Singapore on Sunday.
Real are still the player's most likely destination but they are not ready to meet the £35m asking price.
