Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich have had a challenging week. They suffered a 3-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, putting them five points behind the Bundesliga leaders. Additionally, they were defeated by Lazio in the Champions League. While the club has expressed support for Tuchel, failure to progress in Europe or win the German title would be a significant disappointment for the manager.
Xabi Alonso’s reputation continues to grow with each passing week. Leverkusen, under his guidance, play an attractive and attacking style of football, remaining undefeated in the German top-flight. This has reportedly caught the attention of Liverpool, who are in search of a replacement for Jurgen Klopp.
Although Alonso has not indicated any intention to leave his current position, Liverpool may have believed they had a clear opportunity to pursue him. However, The Times reports that Bayern, another of Alonso’s former clubs, are interested in persuading the 42-year-old to stay in Germany.
If Liverpool truly has their sights set on Alonso, they will need to make a strong effort to secure his services.
