The Agence France Presse reports today that QuickStep’s manager Patrick Lefevre is in “constant contact” with Alberto Contador regarding a possible signing for 2010.

At QuickStep, Contador would join forces with Tom Boonen, Sylvain Chavanel, Carlos Barredo, Stijn Devolder and Allan Davis, among others.
According to the report, space has been made in the roster for Alberto to bring with him four other riders of his choice.

Jesús Hernandez, 21%
Andreas Klöden, 19%
Ivan Basso, 9%
Dani Navarro, 18%
Cadel Evans, 3%
Other, 9%
