It seems increasingly likely that Bayern Munich will separate from Thomas Tuchel during the upcoming summer transfer window, while Xabi Alonso is being considered as a possible replacement, according to talkSPORT.
Tuchel has faced difficulties this season, with Bayern already eliminated from the DFB Pokal, falling behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and struggling in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich currently find themselves trailing Bayer Leverkusen by five points in the league after suffering a devastating 3-0 defeat to Alonso’s team over the weekend. As a result, the club is exploring potential alternatives to Tuchel for the upcoming summer, especially following their 1-0 loss to Lazio in the first leg of the last-16 tie on Wednesday.
However, the dismissal could happen earlier if they are eliminated from European competitions and continue to lag behind in the race for the German title.
Alonso is the preferred choice at Bayern, given his previous spell with the club from 2014 to 2017. If Bayern decides to part ways with Tuchel, they will be keen to secure Alonso before Liverpool does, potentially giving the former Spanish midfielder the chance to choose between two of Europe’s top clubs.
This news will be a major setback for Liverpool, considering their interest in Xabi Alonso, but nothing is certain yet, which means that the Reds still have a chance to sign the Spaniard.
