Liverpool seems to be strongly considering Xabi Alonso as their top choice for the next manager to replace Jurgen Klopp. The current manager of Bayer Leverkusen has caught the attention of multiple clubs across Europe, but the Liverpool owners believe he is the perfect fit for Anfield. Alonso’s impressive resume was further bolstered when his team defeated Bayern Munich over the weekend. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Liverpool is currently leading the race to secure Alonso’s services. Bayern Munich is also considering him due to uncertainties surrounding Thomas Tuchel’s future, while Barcelona shares the same interest as Liverpool, likely influenced by Alonso’s father’s history with the La Liga club. Liverpool was the first team to express interest in Alonso, which may explain why Real Madrid, a potential obstacle, will not pursue him out of loyalty to Carlo Ancelotti. This gives Liverpool a clear advantage in their pursuit of Alonso. Despite his success at Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso may face challenges adapting to the different standards and demands of Liverpool compared to his current club. The scrutiny and pressure in England, especially for a manager of Liverpool, are much more intense than what he has experienced in Germany. Other candidates being linked to the Liverpool job include Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, and Ruben Amorim, the Sporting boss.
