Alonso plans Madrid stay Xabi Alonso has moved to quash rumours that he will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.
The Spain international had been linked with a move to Premier League outfit Chelsea, if Jose Mourinho were to take over as manager at Stamford Bridge in the off-season.
But the 31-year-old is adamant he will prolong his four-year stay at the Bernabeu for at least one more season.
"Of course I'm going to be here next season," Alonso said following Madrid's 6-2 victory over Malaga on Wednesday.
Despite the high-scoring win, Barcelona can wrap up the Liga title if they beat Atletico Madrid on Sunday, after finishing second to Real last term.
