Leverkusen’s sporting director delivers unfavorable updates on Xabi Alonso’s potential move to Liverpool.

There is widespread speculation surrounding Xabi Alonso’s potential return to Liverpool, as the former midfielder is currently managing Bayer Leverkusen. The rumors have intensified due to the imminent departure of Jurgen Klopp from Anfield, leading to discussions about Alonso’s future at Leverkusen.

After Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich, Simon Rolfes, the sporting director of the Bundesliga side, responded to inquiries about Alonso’s future at the club. Rolfes expressed confidence in Alonso’s ongoing tenure, highlighting contractual obligations and the manager’s comfort and familiarity with the club as crucial factors.

Despite the ongoing speculation about Alonso’s potential move, Leverkusen solidified their commitment to him by extending his contract until 2026 before the current season. This move highlights Leverkusen’s dedication to keeping Alonso and their confidence in his managerial abilities.

Rolfes’s confirmation of Leverkusen’s position reflects the club’s determination to maintain stability and continuity in their managerial setup. Leverkusen’s favorable standing in the Bundesliga standings adds weight to their reluctance to consider offers for Alonso’s departure.

When questioned about the prospect of the Spanish manager leading the team in the upcoming campaign, Rolfes stated, “Yes, I’m sure. One aspect is the contractual arrangements. Another is how comfortable he feels, both personally and with his family, and the knowledge of what he has within the club. He also has a very strong team, and we anticipate a positive outlook for the next year with no changes in the team.”
