The Spanish playmaker's move to Italy had been expected to be sealed on Monday but talks have stalled with Liverpool said to be demanding 20 million euros - two million more than Juve's offer.

Blanc told Sky Italia: "Xabi Alonso? It's an operation that we're taking forward and we'll compare him to other deals which could be done."

He added: "We're following more than three footballers," Blanc told Sky Italia. "And we'll see if what you read in the papers comes true or the other names we're working on.

"We're looking for a very talented midfielder - there's not many of those around and some of them aren't available. We have to talk first with the club and then with the player.

"Only one of these deals will be done."
