Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has refused to rule out a return to former club Liverpool, saying "never say never" about a return to AnfieldThe 29-year-old left Merseyside to join the Spanish giants in August 2009 after a breakdown in his relationship with then-manager Rafael Benitez.
The Spain international remains fond of his time at the Premier League club after becoming a huge fan favourite during his five years at Anfield.
And although he is happy at the Bernabeu, he has hinted at a possible return at some point in the future.
When asked by LFC TV if he would consider returning to his former club, Alonso said: "Why not? I think that in football so many things change, and why not? I have my red passion and if circumstances arrived then why not?
"At the moment I don't know what is going to happen, but it could be a possibility. Never say never."
Of his exit from the Merseysiders, he added: "It was difficult because Liverpool has been and always will be very special.
"It is in my heart because I have lived very intense things there.
"I miss lots of things. I miss the lads, I miss the atmosphere at Melwood - it was a great place to work, and the scenario of Anfield is unbeatable.
"The special nights I have been privileged enough to live, those will be in my memory forever and they are difficult to compare anywhere in the world."
The Spaniard also revealed he still follows his former club's results with interest and has been impressed with the improvements made over the last six months under Kenny Dalglish.
"At the beginning of the season I was feeling for the players because you could see things were not going very well and confidence was low at that moment," he said.
"But things changed, the club settled down with new ownership. With Kenny's arrival the belief and the confidence of the team looks much better.
"I am looking forward to next season. It looks like it can be a good season."
