After Klopp’s nine-year term at Anfield ends at the end of the current season, Alonso—who has been making waves in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen—is seen to be the front-runner to take over as manager of the team. Leverkusen’s readiness to let Alonso go, meanwhile, is contingent upon Liverpool—or any other possible suitors, including Bayern Munich and Real Madrid—fulfilling their exorbitant financial demands.
