Part of an interview with Arbeloa
Do you want to come back to Spain?
It's something that is always at the back of my mind. I'm fine at Liverpool but I'd like to come back because I didn't really experience La Liga at the top level. I'm sure I'll come back one day. Away from football, I'm missing everything that I have back home.
Your name appears on the list of possible signings at Real Madrid?
It's always nice to be targeted by big sides, especially by this Real Madrid team that is being put together. They're trying really hard to build a great team. I've got one year left at Liverpool, but you never know what's going to happen.
Are you not thinking about renewing your contract at Liverpool?
It's up in the air. It's likely that I'll stay only for the next year. That said, if an offer comes in they'll have to look at it and see if it's best for them to sell me now. It's all in the hands of my agent. I'm focusing on the national team.
If this is true then I think in his mind he's already gone.
I'll be sad to see him leave, I have found him to be extremely reliable and solid defensively, it wasn't a position I felt needed strengthening, except for back-up.
It obviously makes our interest in Johnson a lot easier to understand, if we're looking for a new first-choice RB then he's a good option with EPL experience.
It's not the first time I've heard or Arby being homesick, and I can understand how hard it is living in another country far from your family and roots. If he wants to leave I won't have any bad feelings towards him, just wish him all the best and thanks for the loyal service. YNWA.
