Liverpool are anticipated to encounter fierce competition from Bayern Munich and Barcelona in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso this summer.
The Reds are actively seeking a successor for Jürgen Klopp, who is poised to depart his position at the end of the current season.
Numerous reports have linked former Liverpool player Alonso with the managerial role at Anfield. The Spanish tactician has been enjoying a successful campaign with Leverkusen, leading them to the top of the Bundesliga table.
At 42 years old, Alonso is regarded as one of the most promising managerial talents in Europe, making him an appealing prospect for Liverpool.
However, reports from Metro suggest that Liverpool may face strong competition from European powerhouses Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Both clubs are reportedly monitoring Alonso’s progress and are considering him as a potential candidate for their managerial vacancies.
Barcelona, like Liverpool, are also in search of a new manager for the upcoming season. The Catalan giants’ current head coach, Xavi Hernandez, has announced his intention to depart Camp Nou in the summer.
It remains to be seen which club will ultimately secure Alonso’s services should he become available in the summer.
