Xabi Alonso sets next job decision date as Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid stance clear
Xabi Alonso's decision over his Bayer Leverkusen future will be made in "the next 3-4 weeks", according to Guillem Balague.
The Spaniard is seen as one of the leading contenders to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool this summer and Leverkusen's impressive performances are adding stock to his growing reputation as a coach. Like the Reds, Leverkusen could also end the 2023/24 campaign with three trophies.
Along with their commanding Bundesliga title-race lead, Leverkusen are also in the German Cup semi-finals and could meet Klopp's Liverpool in the Europa League final at Dublin Arena on May 22. German champions Bayern Munich and La Liga giants Real Madrid have also been linked with Alonso.

And Spanish football expert Balague has provided an update on Alonso's situation. He claims that a decision could be made soon.
"Xabi Alonso is determined to choose his future in the next 3-4 weeks," he said on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Nothing is decided yet, nothing at all. First, four big games ahead to be played (Hoffenheim in the league, semis of the cup against Dusserldorf, Union Berlin in the league, quarters of the EL vs West Ham).
"Then the idea is to take the decision about his future after those results The pros and cons of every team that is interested in him have been considered and he will take the next step that “he feels” is the right one (a mixture of intuition, logic and consideration of family). Leverkusen: Why stay when you have maximised the potential, but their confidence in him has a weight.
