Xabi Alonso would surely choose becoming the next Liverpool manager over the option to either go to Bayern Munich or stay at current club Bayer Leverkusen, according to Neil Jones.

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, Jones stated his view that he could see Alonso viewing the project at Anfield as the more tempting destination even if he’ll likely also have other offers this summer.

Alonso has done a remarkable job at Leverkusen, with the Spaniard’s side currently sitting top of the Bundesliga table and dreaming of winning the German league title for the first time in their history.

Alonso has achieved this all while getting his side playing an attractive brand of football, while they’re also unbeaten in all competitions this season, so it’s easy to see why the likes of Liverpool and Bayern would be keen.

Xabi Alonso has worked wonders at Bayer Leverkusen

Jones says we can’t rule out Leverkusen trying to keep Alonso either, but he still feels the former Reds midfielder would surely be keen to return to his old club once Jurgen Klopp steps down at the end of this season.

Alonso to choose Liverpool over Bayern move or Leverkusen stay?

“I think the situation with Alonso is that there are a lot of people trying to guess and speculate as to his intentions, when the reality is that his primary focus will be, and has to be, on finishing a huge job with Bayer Leverkusen this season,” Jones said.

“Clearly, he is going to have a big decision to make soon, because both Liverpool and Bayern Munich will be calling him, if they haven’t already, and Leverkusen will surely be making a pitch for him to stay for at least one more season too.
