On February 6, we revealed to you the first contacts made by Liverpool with Xabi Alonso. It must be said that the latter amazes the world of football with what he has built with Bayer Leverkusen, the imperturbable leader of the Bundesliga after 21 days. For Liverpool, the Xabi Alonso track is considered a priority in the quest for the successor to Jürgen Klopp, who formalized his departure at the end of the season.
The marriage seems logical, between the former Reds player and a club which seeks to start a new cycle. Especially since he let those around him know that he was interested in only 3-4 clubs. These clubs are the ones he frequented during his playing career. However, chance worked out well for Xabi Alonso, since in addition to Liverpool, Bayern Munich is also looking for its future coach.
Bayern want it too, but…
It will not have escaped your attention, the Bavarian club is going through a big crisis of results and play. Thomas Tuchel’s future has clearly become clouded and if he manages to stay in office until the end of the season, he seems very unlikely to see it continue beyond that. According to our information, which confirms those published by The Times today, Bayern Munich also wants to recover Xabi Alonso for next season.
The Bavarian leaders were marked by Bayer’s superb collective performance during last weekend’s duel (3-0) and are convinced of the abilities of Xabi Alonso. Problem, we’ll have to move quickly. Because Liverpool have made it their priority, and are ready to make an offer to Leverkusen, where he is linked until 2026, to get him back this summer. The Reds have two advantages, they are already certain of having to take a new coach, and according to our information, they have the preference of Xabi Alonso, at least at the moment.
