He is undoubtedly the fashionable trainer of the moment. With Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso is unstoppable. The young Spanish tactician has done a remarkable job with his team, the undisputed leader of the Bundesliga. And inevitably, his name comes up very regularly in the big European clubs to take over this summer. With the departures of Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel, Liverpool and Bayern Munich appeared to be the two hottest clubs on the docket.

But after several weeks of reflection, the former Real Madrid midfielder made his choice. The English (The Athletic, Sky Sports) and German (BILD) press agree that Xabi Alonso has chosen to stay at Bayer Leverkusen next season. Liverpool and Bayern Munich already know this. He wants to be part of the continuity with the German training. To put an end to the rumors, he should also formalize his choice at a press conference this Friday.
