The former Liverpool midfielder has had a great season in Germany so far.Jurgen Klopp’s announcement that he will step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the season came as a huge shock, but the next manager may already have been chosen.
Since joining the club at the end of 2015, Klopp has orchestrated a remarkable transformation at Anfield and the news of his transfer shocked the footballing world. There are so many great memories to look back on and so many people looking forward to the next person on the other side of the door. Earlier this season we reported on the former Liverpool midfielder.
Fabrizio Romano said this was not a formal clause but a “gentlemen’s agreement”. He agrees with the club’s comments, but they paint a promising picture for United. “There is nothing official about the activation of another club. I was told that it is only an agreement between Alonso and the management of Leverkusen.
“Alonso has been shortlisted by several clubs this summer but Leverkusen have insisted on staying but will allow him to move to a top club in the future,” the transfer analyst wrote in November’s daily briefing .
“The final decision will be made by Alonso and he will make it in the summer. But because there is no general release clause, it is more important to convince Alonso than to pay the official release clause to Leverkusen.
” The Spaniard is currently 13/8 favorite to take over as manager and his Leverkusen side have been in incredible form this season. Currently unbeaten and top of the Bundesliga, they have made great strides in all competitions so far and have plenty of time to challenge for glory in the second half of the season. His ability to play with high pressure and intensity will certainly be an attractive trait that will fit perfectly with the ethos of the club.
He also hinted at a move to Liverpool ahead of tomorrow’s game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Alonso has commented on reports linking him with Liverpool’s next manager and has not ruled out a potential move. “I have the greatest respect and admiration for Jürgen.” He started it.
