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

Several top teams in Europe are on the lookout for a top coach for next season. Xavi Hernandez announced that he will leave Barcelona soon, as the results obtained during the last months have been disappointing. Something similar is happening with Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich, but in his case there are also conflicts with some of the players in the squad. A completely different example is Jurgen Klopp: he is loved at Liverpool and everyone wants him to stay, but he no longer has the energy to face another season.

The three giants need to find a new manager as soon as possible. Barcelona have the most difficult mission, as the serious financial problems they have been facing for years prevent them from making multi-million dollar offers. But Liverpool and Bayern Munich are willing to do anything to get the coach they want. And both clubs seem to have targeted the same person: Xabi Alonso.

The former Spanish midfielder is doing a great job at Bayer Leverkusen, the surprise Bundesliga leaders. Last week they beat Bayern Munich 3-0 and now have an 8-point lead in the standings. In addition, the team's style pleases the fans because of its offensive ambition and the characteristics of the players chosen by the coach.

Reports indicate that Alonso will receive offers from the Reds and the Bavarian side in the coming weeks, but negotiations will not be easy. The Bayer Leverkusen chiefs have no intention of letting go of their manager, who has a contract until June 30, 2026. With this scenario, the only alternative for them will be to pay the exit clause, which is worth between $15 million and $20 million, according to Sport1.

Xabi Alonso was asked a few days ago about rumors of his departure to another club at the end of the season, but he was blunt: "Right now I'm the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, that's for sure. I have nothing new to say about my future. I know there are rumors but they are not relevant. Besides, it's not the right time to talk about that."
