The list of suitors for Xabi Alonso continues to shrink. After the exit of Uli Hoeness, the president of Bayern, who declared that it will be “probably impossible” to bring the Bayer Leverkusen coach to the Bavarian bench, it would be Liverpool’s turn to abandon the track of the Spanish. This is what the Times announced this Thursday evening.
While they believe that Xabi Alonso will not leave Germany this summer “after a thorough check” according to the British daily, the Reds and their new president Michael Edwards are now thinking of Ruben Amorim to succeed Jürgen Klopp. At 39, the coach of Sporting Portugal, currently leading the Portuguese Championship, is one of the most prominent technicians in Europe. But his release clause would amount to almost 20 million euros.
