Sky Sports has unveiled major updates regarding Xabi Alonso on Monday night, delivering what they termed as “significant news for Liverpool supporters.”
The current manager of Bayer Leverkusen emerges as the top contender to replace Jurgen Klopp in the upcoming summer.
However, Liverpool’s aspirations could face a setback as Bayern Munich enters the picture.
Sky Sports’ German counterparts report that Bayern Munich has initiated talks with the 42-year-old as they search for a successor to Thomas Tuchel, who is set to depart at the season’s end.
Alarmingly, reports indicate that Bayern Munich has received positive feedback from Alonso during initial discussions.
His potential move to Bayern Munich is expected to come with a substantial price tag, estimated between €15 million (£12.8 million) and €25 million (£21.4 million), to secure his services from Bayer Leverkusen.
Reacting to the breaking news on air, the Sky Sports presenter underscored the significance of the development for Liverpool fans, emphasizing the credibility of the source.
This latest update provides the clearest indication yet of Alonso’s future plans. If Liverpool fails to secure their former midfielder, it would undoubtedly pose a significant setback in their pursuit of Klopp’s successor.
Despite the potential setback, Liverpool’s owners, FSG, must remain proactive in their pursuit of Alonso.
They should persist in their efforts to lure him back to Anfield and be prepared to capitalize on any unforeseen obstacles that may arise during Alonso’s discussions with Bayern Munich.
