Bayer Leverkusen are “optimistic” about keeping Xabi Alonso at the club beyond the summer despite interest from Liverpool.
Florian Plettenberg shared this update on X (formerly Twitter) this morning, highlighting the Spaniard’s integration into plans for next season. As everyone on the Merseyside knows, Jurgen
Klopp will call time on his Anfield career at the end of the season and with his current contract until 2026, even the best laid plans can sometimes go awry.All due respect to Bayer Leverkusen – and believe me, it is. We had a lot of success for the club in areas usually dominated by Bayern.
If Alonso wants to work at Liverpool, nothing is stopping him. . Unless of course the FSG and our decision makers find a suitable candidate to replace one of the greatest men in our history!But at the end of the day, the job is far less prestigious than the one at Anfield and we’d be shocked if our former player turned down the opportunity if it was offered to him.Time will tell.
