Xabi Alonso is targeted by Bayern Munich, where Thomas Tuchel is leaving the team, in addition to Liverpool, where Jurgen Klopp is retiring.He joins the ranks of promising young commanders with a team that boasts a threatening winning percentage in the Bundesliga.
Along with the Spanish coach, the German midfielder Florian Wirtz has been in the news for his departure. He is one of the best in Germany at handling the ball with great technique, and his last passes and finishes near the penalty area are among the best in the country.
Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist, made a remarkable statement about the future of the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, in which Liverpool is also interested.
He said that the opinion of those around the player is that his best bet is to remain with the club next season, and that no moves have been made at this point.
“Florian Wirtz has spoken about his future, suggesting that for now his plan is to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, and that’s my understanding as well – his full focus on Leverkusen and on the Euros,”
“There are currently no negotiations and sources close to the player believe the best option is to stay at Leverkusen for one more year, at least. Then never say never in football, but it’s very quiet so far.”

There are reports circulating that Liverpool is also interested in Jamal Musiala, another German midfielder, which could lead to a reshuffling of the attackers’ ranks.
As there is no position in the current squad where they excel, they can only be placed on the wings or at inside half.
Former Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho has suffered from similar problems in the past, and perhaps the new coach will gradually transform the team into a new one.
Could Liverpool really be on the verge of acquiring a German gem…?
