Xabi Alonso speaks out about the connection between Bayern Munich and Liverpool after making “contact.”

In response to inquiries about his future, Xabi Alonso has addressed rumours that he has been contacted by Bayern Munich and Liverpool over their respective manager searches.

Xabi Alonso has responded to rumours over his future in light of his connections to Bayern Munich and Liverpool. The head coach of Bayer Leverkusen declined to say if he has spoken with either team.

The consensus is that Alonso will replace Jürgen Klopp as manager when the German departs at the end of the current campaign. However, other teams are also considering the former midfielder’s services besides the Reds.

Alonso is reportedly very high on Bayern’s list of candidates to succeed Thomas Tuchel. Whether Bayern surpasses Leverkusen in the Bundesliga race or not, the former Chelsea manager is also expected to leave at the end of the current campaign.

As of right now, Alonso’s team leads the dominant Bavarian team by eight points and is undefeated in all leagues this season. Due to his recent success, the former Spain international has drawn a lot of interest; as a result, two of his former clubs are currently searching for a new manager.

Bayern and Liverpool have also gotten in touch with Alonso’s management, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany. The latter team sees him as their preferred Tuchel substitute. However, Alonso declined to comment on his future this week.
Bayern, Liverpool?

“I don’t have anything new to share,” Alonso (per the ECHO) stated. “I am without a doubt the coach of Bayer Leverkusen at the moment. I have nothing fresh to say about the future.

“Have I heard from Bayern via phone? That is merely conjectural. Once more, I have nothing fresh to share.”

According to Liverpool.com, Alonso will naturally keep his cards close to his vest. He most likely won’t respond to us definitively, at least not while Leverkusen is competing for the Bundesliga championship.

The former midfielder for Liverpool is in an interesting situation. Even though he has only been in charge of Leverkusen for one complete season, two of the top teams in the world are vying for his services.

To make sure it doesn’t pass up what would be an incredible chance, Liverpool may need to move quickly not only in the manager search but also in the hiring of a new sporting director.

Report: Xabi Alonso response to Liverpool job after contact made

Xabi Alonso, a legend of Liverpool, has been linked to a return to Anfield ever since Jurgen Klopp made his departure known.

According to reports, Liverpool has gotten in touch with Xabi Alonso to gauge his interest in succeeding Jurgen Klopp after the German retires this summer.

The French publication Foot Mercato has confirmed this, chasing rumours that linked the Bayer Leverkusen manager to a reunion with his old team nearly as soon as Klopp declared his choice last month.

During his time at Anfield, Alonso was a hugely popular player. Under Rafa Benitez, his elegant midfield stylings were crucial to their victories in the 2005 Champions League, the 2006 FA Cup, and their most convincing Premier League run to date, which ended in a narrow loss to Manchester United in 2009.

After leaving the team that summer, Alonso spent his last seasons at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He then turned to coaching, beginning his managerial career with Real Sociedad B until joining Leverkusen in 2022.

The former Spanish international is currently leading the team to their first-ever Bundesliga championship after doing admirably in the role. After defeating Bayern of second place 3-0 on Saturday, Leverkusen leads the table by five points with 13 games remaining and an undefeated record.

It makes sense, then, that Alonso has played coy about the speculations that he is interested in joining Liverpool, stating only that he is content with his current position and committed to finishing the task at hand.

In Foot Mercato’s reporting, that position has been reaffirmed without specific quotations, implying that they have independently investigated the matter.

Although Liverpool leads the table by just two points above Manchester City and Arsenal—the latter of which has a game in hand—Jurgen Klopp is hoping to end his career on a high note.

Next weekend, Liverpool will play Chelsea in the League Cup final at Wembley before taking on Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round. Next Friday, they will also find out who their opponents are in the Europa League round of 16.
