Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool are all reportedly interested in acquiring Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, who has quickly risen in the managerial world since starting his career in 2019. The 42-year-old Spaniard, who previously enjoyed success as a player with Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, has guided Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title this season and remains unbeaten across competitions. With uncertainties surrounding Pep Guardiola’s future at Manchester City, the club is said to be considering Alonso as a potential replacement.
While Chelsea had also shown interest in Alonso, the manager has decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another season. Liverpool, on the other hand, may not make a move for Alonso next summer as they are likely to appoint a long-term successor to Jurgen Klopp this year. As for Real Madrid, who may be in the market for a new manager with Carlo Ancelotti nearing the end of his career, they are also reportedly considering Alonso as a candidate. The competition for Alonso’s signature between Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool is expected to be intense.
Should Guardiola depart from Manchester City in 2025, the club will need to find a suitable replacement to fill the void left by the highly successful manager. With Alonso attracting interest from top clubs like Real Madrid and Liverpool as well, the battle for his signature is shaping up to be intriguing. Despite being a relatively new face in the managerial world, Alonso’s quick rise to success and impressive achievements with Bayer Leverkusen have made him a sought-after candidate for top clubs in Europe.
