Xabi Alonso breaks silence on Liverpool and Bayern Munich job links
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has finally broken his silence on the numerous media stories that have been doing the rounds about him potentially leaving his current club to take over at either Liverpool or Bayern Munich in the summer.

Alonso has done a tremendous job at Leverkusen this season, with the club currently eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga in a surprise development that could see them win the first German league title in their history, and finally halting the remarkable run of Bayern Munich, who have won the last eleven in a row.

Klopp is a legendary figure at Liverpool, but recently announced he’d be leaving Anfield at the end of the season, and though it will take some time to see who’s going to replace him, it’s hard to see a better candidate than Alonso, who also has that LFC connection from playing for the club.
