According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich are leading the race to secure him as their next manager following Thomas Tuchel’s impending departure from the Bundesliga side.

This development would force Liverpool to look into other managerial options.
Bayern’s honorary president, Uli Hoeness, acknowledged the competition for Alonso’s signature, highlighting the interest from Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Leverkusen.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg emphasized Bayern’s confidence in signing Alonso, despite the interest from other clubs.

While Liverpool’s sporting director, Michael Edwards, is reportedly engaged in negotiations, the club is considering alternative candidates such as Roberto De Zerbi, Franck Haise, Ruben Amorim, and Julian Nagelsmann.
Alonso’s decision will have significant implications for both Bayern and Liverpool.
As the managerial space evolves, he remains focused on Leverkusen’s ongoing campaign, where success could potentially include securing a treble at the end of the season.
