The world's most expensive boss: Bayern are willing to pay Xabi Alonso a fortune

In recent weeks Xabi Alonso became the most coveted coach in Europe. Several top clubs are on the lookout for a manager for next season and have been impressed by his work at Bayer Leverkusen. They are the surprising leaders of the Bundesliga standings and seem to be on course to end Bayern Munich's eleven-year hegemony.

How much will Liverpool and Bayern Munich have to pay to hire Xabi Alonso?

Precisely the Bavarian side are one of the clubs interested in signing the former Spanish midfielder, considering that Thomas Tuchel will leave once the season ends. This is due not only to the disappointing results, but also to his bad relationship with some of the stars of the squad, such as Joshua Kimmich. But they are not the only ones to target Xabi Alonso.

Liverpool also need a coach to replace Jurgen Klopp, who will leave next summer. And even Barcelona was mentioned as another interested club, something surprising considering that the manager played for years at Real Madrid.

With so much competition, it will be necessary to offer Xabi Alonso attractive conditions for him to accept an offer. And that is why Bayern Munich are willing to make him the highest-paid coach in the world. According to the Daily Mirror, they are considering offering him a salary four times higher than the one he currently has at Bayer Leverkusen: he now earns $6.5 million per year and could reach almost $25 million, equaling Manchester City's Pep Guardiola in the ranking of the most expensive managers in soccer.

Not an easy negotiation

Despite the interest of clubs like Bayern Munich and Liverpool in signing Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen have a say in the situation. They signed a contract until June 30, 2026 with the Spanish coach and have no intention of letting him go easily. That is why, according to reports in the German press, they will demand payment of the exit clause, which is more than $20 million.
