Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager.
Liverpool would be the next logical step for him, and certainly a matter of heart. The English club is one of the three clubs where Alonso would receive a transfer from Leverkusen
After the Klopp news, two of the major media outlets Germany revealed that Xabi Alonso could be the next Liverpool manager. “A very attractive candidate is working successfully in the Bundesliga: Xabi Alonso! The 42-year-old Spaniard is in a master class with Bayer Leverkusen. And he could be looking for a new challenge in the summer,” the newspaper said Sport Bild.
“Liverpool would be the next logical step for him, and certainly a matter of heart. The English club is one of three clubs where Alonso would receive a transfer from Leverkusen, despite a contract that lasts until 2026. The other two clubs are the FC Bayern Munich and the Real Madrid, so they are all Alonso's former clubs. What is agreed is that if the coach decides to move to an absolutely important club, the Bayer will enter into negotiations without an exit clause,” the outlet noted.
And I add: “Liverpool and Alonso seem to agree. Anfield Road is a very special place for the Leverkusen coach. It was his first step outside of his native Spain in 2004; He came from Real Sociedad. His international breakthrough came in Liverpool, where she became a superstar and won his first major title with the networks in the Champions League in 2005.

The newspaper Kicker He also explained that the operation Xabi Alonso – Liverpool It would not be far from being produced. “When it comes to a successor, we focus on an old acquaintance: Xabi Alonso, who played 210 competitive games for the Reds during his playing days and currently leads and inspires the Bundesliga with the Leverkusen. For a time, the icon of Liverpool Steven Gerrard He was considered the natural successor to the coaching position, since the Bayer coach lost a long time ago to the former captain. After Carlo Ancelotti extended his stay at Real Madrid, the idea arose that Xabi Alonso would replace Klopp before 2026. It took shape.”
The Spanish strategist would be the one chosen by the Liverpool owners, who would look for a manager who knows the league and the city. “To this day he has a deep emotional connection with the city and the club. It seems that this connection is deeper than with FC Bayern. Also the other way around: he has long enjoyed legendary status at Liverpool “Will there be a reunification?”
In this way, Luis Díaz's next coach in Liverpool could be the Spaniard, who has the special affection of the fans and knows every corner of Anfield Road.
