Xabi Alonso Confirms He'll Stay at Bayer Leverkusen, Ends Speculations Over Him Joining Bayern Munich or Liverpool
Bayer Leverkusen enjoyed great success under Xabi Alonso so far and his successful season at Bundesliga caught many eyes. Many reports suggested that the former Liverpool midfielder would return to Anfield as Coach or even at Bayern Munich. But as per reports from Fabrizio, the Spaniard is staying at the German club.
Xabi Alonso confirmed that he is happy at Bayer Leverkusen's side and intends to stay with the club. He joined Leverkusen in October 2022, with the side in the bottom half of the Bundesliga. The Spanish midfielder engineered an improvement that led to Europa League qualification and in his second season, they are poised to lift the Bundesliga title with an unbeaten run, ending Bayern Munich’s dominance in the league. Talking about Munich, the side was keen to appoint their former player as a replacement for the departing Thomas Tuchel. But it's not only the league opponent, but Premier League side Liverpool who pondered around luring Alonso back to Anfield. He was seen as a perfect successor to outgoing Jurgen Klopp. UEFA Will Listen if Euro 2024 Coaches Want Larger 26-player Squads to Lessen Risks from Injury.
