Liverpool now set to offer compensation after hearing manager wants to replace Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool’s chase of the Spaniard is starting to heat up.

According to Foot Mercato, Alonso wants to replace Klopp after Liverpool approached him.

Liverpool are now arranging a compensation package to entice the Tolosa player to leave his contract with Bayer Leverkusen.

Aouna stated on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Xabi Alonso is Liverpool and Bayern Munich’s top target for next season. Liverpool made an initial approach to Xabi Alonso, who is interested in a move to England.

“The Reds are ready to send a bid to Leverkusen in the next weeks”

It remains to be known how much Bayer Leverkusen will demand Liverpool for compensation.

Alonso’s contract with the Bundesliga leaders runs until July 2026.

Bayern Munich may compound the matter.
According to Aouna, Alonso is also a target for Bayern Munich, with Thomas Tuchel departing the Allianz Arena this summer.

While the 42-year-old wants to transfer to Liverpool, as previously stated, the Reds may end up spending more money on his signing if Bayern Munich offers Bayer Leverkusen a higher compensation proposal.

A bidding war for a manager is unusual in football, but it is exactly what we could expect this summer.

If Bayern Munich can persuade Alonso to overlook Liverpool, the Reds might turn to Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim; Tuchel is also thought to be interested in taking charge at Anfield.

Keep an eye on the situation, as anything could happen.
