Liverpool strongly backs Jurgen Klopp, yet given the German coach’s eight-year devoted tenure on Merseyside, the club recognizes the eventual necessity of finding a successor.
Xabi Alonso stands out as one of the most exciting potential options at Anfield. The former beloved Kop player has smoothly translated his poised demeanor and managerial skills into coaching. His impactful role at Bayer Leverkusen has been notably successful, steering the team from a lowly position to the top of the Bundesliga within a year.

The interest in Xabi Alonso is growing, particularly as Carlo Ancelotti’s contract nears its end, making Alonso the leading candidate. However, Sporting Director Simon Rolfes affirms Alonso’s commitment to his current position, highlighting the former Real Sociedad star’s thoughtful approach to decision-making.
In case Liverpool seeks a new manager and Alonso remains with Leverkusen, SDZ (via Football Espana) suggests a release clause ranging between £13 million and £16 million. Despite Rolfes’ statements, the existence of this clause signals Leverkusen’s acknowledgment of Alonso’s remarkable abilities and the expected high demand for his services. Nevertheless, Liverpool would prefer Alonso’s arrival, potentially at a later stage.
