Xabi Alonso head coach of Bayer Leverkusen and favourite for replace at Jurgen Klopp in Liverpool

Xabi Alonso seems to have been targeted by Liverpool as a replacement for Jurgen Klopp, with the Spaniard himself reportedly preferring the "reds" and not Bayern at the given time. At the same time, Tottenham fear that the "reds" will move for Angelos Postecoglou, who has transformed the "Spurs" this year.


Xabi Alonso is doing things and miracles in Leverkusen this year. With his exploits, the Spaniard has become sought after and next summer many teams are expected to "slaughter" for him. Two of them seem to be Liverpool and Bayern Munich.


After the "redeeming" treble that Leverkusen threw at Bayern, the Bavarians have even more respect for Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard has turned Bayer Leverkusen into a Bundesliga title contender, with the Asprins unbeaten in all competitions this season.

Let's not forget, of course, that Xabi Alonso has played as a footballer with the shirt of both teams. Both Liverpool (2004-2009) and Bayern Munich (2014-2017). With the colors of the Bavarians, Alonso even hung up his football boots. What can be easily deduced from the above is that the two teams will "clash" on behalf of the Spanish coach.


According to "FootMercato", Alonso currently prefers Liverpool to Bayern. He is said to be aware of the interest of the two teams and so far the one that seems to have the lead is the English team. The "reds" have reportedly discussed with the Spaniard their project with him in their technical leadership.



"He feels comfortable around us" Simon Rolfes


Meanwhile, the Sports Director of Leverkusen, Simon Rolfes, in an interview he gave to a television network, appeared optimistic about the stay of Xabi Alonso in Leverkusen.


Bayer Leverkusen is having an excellent season with Xabi Alonso leading the "aspirins" to the championship, since after the victory over Bayern Munich (3-0) and TSG Hoffenheim (1-2) it is at the top of the standings and +8 from the "Bavaria" .
