Fabrizio Romano has reviewed the most recent claims that Liverpool is in discussions with Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso regarding the possibility of recruiting him to take over for Jurgen Klopp as manager of Liverpool for the upcoming season.
Romano noted that although it is usual to see rumors like these circulating, it appears that there are still some other crucial steps that we can expect before things really start developing with Alonso.
Romano made this statement in an exclusive interview with CaughtOffside for his most recent column for the Daily Briefing.
According to the journalist who covers transfer news, Liverpool is also considering other potential candidates.
However, he also emphasized that Alonso is currently concentrating his whole attention on Bayer Leverkusen’s season, which is extremely promising and has the potential to bring them their first Bundesliga title in their entire existence.
The Spanish strategist has done an outstanding job at Leverkusen, and he will undoubtedly want to make certain that there are no distractions now as he attempts to make history with the club, which now holds an eight-point lead over Bayern Munich at the top of the table in Germany. There are eight points between the two teams.
Reports about Alonso Liverpool appear to be premature.
While Romano was discussing the most recent round of Alonso to Liverpool tales, he made it abundantly clear that, despite the fact that he appreciates what other people are hearing and reporting, he is not currently receiving any new information.
The statement was made by Romano. “We are hearing new stories about Liverpool and positive talks about Xabi Alonso,” Romano stated.
“While I respect other journalists and their sources, my understanding is that there is nothing new to report on this saga.”
“To tell you the truth, I do not have any information regarding Xabi Alonso at this time.
It is not unusual for us to receive a multitude of rumors; for example, one day we may hear about being near to Bayern, and the next day we may hear the same thing about Liverpool.
However, according to my understanding, nothing has been determined or is close to being decided yet.
One hundred percent of Alonso’s attention is directed toward doing something historic at Bayer Leverkusen.
In the meantime, Liverpool and Bayern are interested in him, but we will have to wait and see what goes down.
In addition, as I have mentioned in the past, Alonso is a leading contender for Liverpool, but he is not the only one here.
Following the appointment of a new director, Liverpool will subsequently select a new manager. It is essential that this step be taken in order to select the new coach.
