Jorge Valdano, Real Madrid (Goal.com)Real Madrid general director Jorge Valdano has acknowledged that as far as the signings of Franck Ribery and Xabi Alonso go, the prices are too high for los Blancos to make successful moves at the moment.Bayern Munich have reportedly put an €80 million price-tag on the head of their French international winger. With regards to Alonso, Liverpool are apparently keen to keep the midfielder and Madrid have already had two bids rejected for the Spaniard.In an interview with El Partido de la Una, Valdano was asked about the situation with Alonso, and said no deal is close."Xabi Alonso is a priority if he fits into our budget, but that does not seem to be the case. We are very far away from the figures that Liverpool have presented," he explained.Likewise, Valdano acknowledged that Bayern's valuation of Ribery has all but put Madrid off buying him."It is a figure that is out of place. It is the same thing as them saying that they do not want to sell him," he said.
