Sevilla Outmaneuver Man Utd, Alonso Becomes Free Agent

Alonso's contract with Barcelona expired this summer, making him a free agent.

The veteran defender has held talks with Manchester United and Como in recent days.

However, Marca says Sevilla are also in contact and preparing to make a contract offer to the left-sided defender.

Sevilla see Alonso as a readymade replacement for Marcos Acuna, who has just left for River Plate.
