The nine-goal, ten-assist right defender Xabi Alonso says a move to Liverpool “would be great.”

One of his star players acknowledges that it “would be great” to play for Liverpool’s manager at the end of the current campaign, Xabi Alonso.

Since Bayer Leverkusen is presently leading the Bundesliga and eight points ahead of Bayern Munich, it is understandable that the team is winning over supporters throughout Europe.

As a result, when Jurgen Klopp leaves Liverpool this summer, the manager will be given consideration for the position, and his players will be offered to other teams.

One can anticipate relationships between Alonso and his star Leverkusen players if he decides to return to Anfield.

One of them might be right-back Jeremie Frimpong, who has already contributed nine goals and ten assists this season. In terms of goal involvements from defenders in Europe’s top five leagues, he is only surpassed by Leverkusen’s Alejandro Grimaldo (21 goals).

Frimpong seems willing to join Liverpool, even if Trent Alexander-Arnold and the developing Conor Bradley are already there for that role.

According to Dutch newspaper Voetbal International, the 23-year-old acknowledged that playing for the Reds “would be great” in an interview with Ziggo Sport.

Liverpool? Fantastic club with a rich past. When inquired whether he could envision himself accompanying Alonso to Merseyside, he replied, “That would be great.”

“You never know what the future holds.”

The roster that Klopp left behind is likely to be viewed differently by any new manager that takes over the Anfield dugout, which might result in alterations throughout the summer.

Even though right-back isn’t usually thought of as a problem position (unless the incoming manager decides to shift Alexander-Arnold to midfield), Frimpong is one of the best in Europe at that position.

The Netherlands international could at least come up in discussions about potential targets if Alonso took control.

It would appear that persuading Frimpong to join would not present any difficulties, indicating the attraction Liverpool would retain even with a new manager.

When Fenway Sports Group signed Brendan Rodgers, it was definitely a better move than when he was connected to Ashley Williams and Dorus de Vries!

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.
