Amid rumors linking Xabi Alonso with the Liverpool manager job, Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has expressed his belief that Alonso will stay next season. Those doubts were further compounded by Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool, leaving a void at the club’s management after nine illustrious years.
Klopp’s announcement of his summer departure last month shocked the footballing world as Liverpool continue to struggle for wins on a number of fronts. On the other hand, Alonso is making waves at Leverkusen. Thanks to his leadership, Germany remained unbeaten in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen remain five points clear at the top of the table after beating Bayern Munich on Saturday. With 13 games remaining, Leverkusen are in a great position to win the title that has so far eluded them and break Bayern’s 11-year winning streak. After this important win, Rolfes was asked about Alonso’s future at Leverkusen.
Consequently, he was confident that Alonso would be with him next season as well. In an interview with the Sport 1 channel, Rolfes mentioned several reasons for these accusations. First, Alonso signed a contract with Leverkusen. Secondly, Rolfes emphasized how happy Alonso is with the club, both personally and professionally.“One reason is because of the contract. “The difference is how comfortable he is with himself and his family and knows what he’s at the club,” Rolfes said. “He also has a very good team. We have a very good future ahead of us next year, but he is not there. The change.” From Tim.
We will definitely have a better team next year. “Apart from contracts, coaches like Xavi and interested players often stay with us.”Leverkusen have scored 55 of their 63 Bundesliga goals this season thanks to Alonso’s outstanding performances. They are five points clear of second-placed Bayern Munich with 13 games remaining. Rolfes’ comments will give Liverpool something to think about as Alonso and his strong side look to secure their long-awaited title.
