Xabi Alonso 'prefers' a Liverpool job to taking charge at Bayern, Foot Mercato's Santi Aouna reports.
Both clubs supposedly have the Spaniard as the leading candidate to take over. Jurgen Klopp is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season while Bayern are unhappy with Thomas Tuchel and are considering sacking him. At least Real Madrid are out of the race for the Spaniard, having extended Carlo Ancelotti's contract until 2025.
Alonso is under contract with Bayer until 2026, a team he's taken to the first position in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen will do everything in their power to keep him.
Note that the story comes from French journalist Santi Aouna. He is generally considered quite reliable but it's better to wait for a confirmation from the likes of Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein before beginning to celebrate the arrival of Alonso.
