The future of the midfielder has been thrown into doubt after Benitez recently revealed he was keen to secure the signature of Aston Villa captain Barry.
Juventus have become the latest club to be linked with a move for Alonso, who joined Liverpool from Real Sociedad for £10.5million in 2004, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are also thought to be interested.
