I wish he stays at Bayer at least one season more. Unique opportunity to see his team measure up against best teams in Champions league. Wouldn't it be sweet ? Leverkusen vs Real ? vs City ? Rest of PL top teams ? I wanna see that ! One more year & then he can go wherever he wants....

If I were Xabi Alonso, I would definitely choose Liverpool as the club I would coach, I will not forget Liverpool's services.

Liverpool has a top 5 team in the world right now and are ready to win champions league and the epl they just need that spark to take them over the top and xabi may be it bayern is stupid but should go for klopp even if its a year from now

If Bayern was in EPL they wouldn't have won domestic title 11 years straight, CV from EPL & Bundesliga do not hold the same weight.

He’s a terrific young manager but if he knocks off Bayern in the Bundesliga this year and then goes to them next season, the team that had won like 10 league titles in a row he is bizarre individual. I get it Bayern are massive club and maybe he wants to stay in Germany, but the only two real acceptable choices are to either stay where he is and hold out for Real Madrid next year or go to Liverpool. Going to Bayern Munnich is truly nonsensical. And the Answer here in the US is that Liverpool are a much bigger club, not sure for the rest of the world but in the US it isnt close.

Liverpool are definitey bigger than Bayern in South East Asia, and possibly all Asia.

Xabi Alonso already said that he will stay in the Bundesliga next season, so it is either going to be Leverkusen or Bayern.

If Xabi stays in Bundesliga he is better off staying at Leverkusen. Regardless, there is going to be a gap, jump for him. Stay at Leverkusen and taking them to next level and compete against big clubs across europe in CL. Go to Liverpool, and the club is bigger, more talented squad, and more competitive league.

Last years figures for shirt sales. This year's sales may well be different when figures are released. Top-selling football shirts globally for 2022/23 Season. (in units) Liverpool - Nike - 1.8 million Manchester United - Adidas - 1.75 million Real Madrid - Adidas - 1.7 million Barcelona - Nike - 1.6 million Bayern Munich - Adidas - 1.35 million Manchester City - Puma - 1.29 million Paris Saint-Germain - Nike - 1.1 million Arsenal - Adidas - 850 thousand.

Xabi Alonso is the only reason Thomas Tuchel is still at Bayern. Therefore he will be moving to Bayern in the summer.

@TerribleEnglish Ай бұрын

For his career, Bayern is the clear option. He'll likely win the league with them next season, whereas Lev and Liv are likely to drop off from where they are.

You don't go to Bayern if you really want to challenge yourself bayern literally are untouchable financially and they cant even win one of the softest leagues in Europe its a domestic cakewalk that's why they go deep in champions league

Alonso is most likely to go to Bayern if it's offered. The only exception being Real coming in for him, if their season ends in second place in La Liga and dumped out of the Champions League. LFC aren't getting anywhere near him, just as they weren't seriously in with a shout for Jude Bellingham last summer.

Lfc could sell Diaz and salah and sign wirtz and musialah with that money they could get frimpong for 35 million release clause and hinacpie for similar money. Trent goes into midfield could even sell gakpo and get the money and get the young palace guy French great talent winger. Alonso would have everybody he wants to play that system

Klopp leaves a impossible to fill hole, he created a young team which can compete for years with little work to be done. At Bayern its a complete rebuild.. which i think is more appealing. Also Xabi stated time and time again, the quality of living in munich is top10 in the world.. its f‘ing beautiful there.
