Xabi Alonso reportedly favors a move to Liverpool over Bayern Munich.

Santi Auna, a journalist who works as a European transfer market expert for France’s Foot Mercato, wrote on his personal social media account on Sunday (July 27), “Liverpool have made new positive contact with Bayer Leverkusen’s Alonso. Alonso wants to move to Liverpool, a move he will continue to push for next week. Bayern are also interested, but at the moment Alonso is more excited about joining Liverpool and the Premier League (EPL),” the report said.

Bayern announced on its official website on June 21: “Bayern and head coach Thomas Tuchel have mutually decided to terminate their contractual relationship, which was originally scheduled to run until June 30, 2025, on June 30, 2024. This is the result of constructive discussions between Bayern Munich CEO Jan Christian Dresen and Tuchel,” the official parting of ways was announced.

In the end, Bayern made the decision.

While everyone expected Tuchel to be fired, it was agreed that he would leave after the end of the season, rather than immediately. Now that Tuchel’s departure has been finalized, 바카라사이트 the Bayern hierarchy is immediately moving to find a new coach.

“After a good open discussion, we decided to end our cooperation by mutual consent in the summer. Our goal is to pursue a new football direction with a new coach in the 2024-2025 season,” he said, adding that the search for Tuchel’s replacement would begin immediately.

One of Bayern’s top priorities was Alonso. Alonso was one of the best midfielders of all time during his career. After making a name for himself at Real Sociedad, he moved to Liverpool and became one of the best midfielders in the EPL. He anchored the Liverpool midfield alongside Steven Gerrard.

After five years at Liverpool, he headed to Real Madrid, where Galactico was in the midst of building his second team. At Real, he formed a midfield duo with Sami Khedira to support the attacking talents of Mesut Özil. Alonso’s wide vision, excellent coordination, and perfect passing from short to long range were his greatest strengths. He wasn’t a weak defender either.

After achieving so much at Real, Alonso moved to Bayern ahead of the 2014-15 season.

He played for Bayern until his retirement. He also won Euro 2008, 2012, and the World Cup with the Spanish national team, making him a legendary player.

After Alonso finished his playing career, he returned to Spain and began his second life as a coach. He returned to his hometown club, Real, and began his coaching career as a youth coach. He then went on to coach the Real Sociedad B team, where he achieved great results. This is when Alonso”s abilities began to be recognized. He took over at Leverkusen in the middle of the 2022-2023 season, after the club had fallen into the Bundesliga relegation zone. The appointment of Alonso, who had never managed in the big leagues or at a big club, was a risky one, but so far, it’s paid off.

Alonso quickly brought his tactical colors to Leverkusen upon his arrival. Alonso’s style of play is beginning to be recognized as a combination of the organized buildup of Spanish football, the pressing and efficient movement of German football, and the trendiness of modern football. Leverkusen, who had been on the brink of relegation, turned things around after Alonso’s arrival, finishing the season in sixth place.

Alonso’s Leverkusen are shocking Europe in the 2023-2024 season.

They are the only team in Europe’s top five leagues to go undefeated in the 2023-2024 season. They”re in first place in the league, dominating even the mighty Bayern. Bayern”s Bundesliga crown, which has been unbroken since the 2012-2013 season, is very likely to be broken under Alonso.

The Bavarians moved immediately to negotiate with Alonso, with German Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg stating that “Alonso is the best candidate to replace Tuchel immediately after the end of the season. Bayern have already contacted Alonso, who is a top target for the Bavarians this summer. However, Alonso is 100% focused on Leverkusen,” the report said.

Bringing Alonso to Bayern is not an easy task. There’s Liverpool. Liverpool announced the parting of ways with their manager before Bayern. Jürgen Klopp, who felt he had run out of energy, said goodbye to Liverpool after this season. Liverpool fully respected his decision and accepted his resignation. 토토사이트 추천 Liverpool immediately set out to find Klopp’s successor, and it was Alonso. The Reds reportedly planned to do everything in their power to get Alonso.

In the end, Liverpool seem to have the upper hand. Alonso recently refused to answer questions about his future. “There is nothing to answer. I am the coach of Leverkusen now. There is nothing to talk about the future. It’s just a rumor that Bayern called me,” Alonso replied, but it is believed that he has been in contact with Liverpool.
