Xabi Alonso, the Bayer Leverkusen leader who continues to do well in the Bundesliga, has been mentioned as the first choice to succeed Jurgen Klopp.
Although his coaching career in the top flight is short, his attractive soccer continues to earn him recognition from some of Europe’s best clubs. However, Bayern Munich is also interested in the coach, and an intense battle with Liverpool is underway.
Leverkusen has never given up on staying, and their departure is still an open question. The name of Sporting’s Reuben Amorim is also frequently mentioned.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert on transfer markets around the world, mentioned on his Youtube channel that several Premier League clubs, not only Liverpool, are interested in the Portuguese coach, and that any club that wants to sign him will have to pay a 30 million euro release clause.
“Ruben Amorim, on the list of multiple clubs in Premier League ahead of summer domino for managers.”
“Excellent work at Sporting and interest growing.”
“Release clause into current contract: €30m.”

Liverpool is said to be prioritizing the signing of a new sporting director first, rather than a new head coach. Therefore, it seems unlikely that negotiations with Xabi Alonso, Ruben Amorim, and others will move forward right now.
However, the appointment of Klopp’s successor is sure to be a hot topic of discussion throughout the summer. Who will the Reds entrust with Liverpool’s future?
