It is no secret that Bayer Leverkusen is the surprise team so far in the 2023/24 season in European Soccer. The German team, led by Spaniard Xabi Alonso, is on track to end Bayern Munich's hegemony in the Bundesliga and could become the club that ends the 11-season reign of the German league giants.

In that sense, Xabi Alonso has commanded a surprising Leverkusen that not only has a 10-point lead over Bayern, but has also broken the record of unbeaten games for a German team in all competitions, as so far it has 34 games without losing, being not only the leader of the Bundesliga but also the only team of the five top leagues (Spain, England, Italy, France and Germany) that maintains the undefeated status so far this season.

In view of this great performance, rumors have begun to generate around the future of Xabi Alonso, because given his great numbers in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, it is not surprising that several top teams in Europe are looking at him, as the Spaniard is not only the sensation of the moment, but was a world-class player, who won absolutely everything in his career and who understands soccer in a special way. In addition, Alonso is showing that he can transfer that knowledge to his players from the bench.

Rumors suggest that teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are the most interested in acquiring his services for next season. Curiously, as a player Xabi Alonso was in those three entities. However, according to journalist François Plateau, there are only two possibilities in the Spaniard tactician's mind and they are neither Real Madrid nor Bayern Munich.

Xabi Alonso's options

According to journalist François Plateau, Xabi Alonso is only considering two options. The first one is to stay another season with Bayer Leverkusen and the other is to choose Liverpool, a club that will be without a coach due to the departure of Jürgen Klopp, who has praised the Spaniard's work in Germany. According to this source, Xabi Alonso is interested in managing in the Premier League alongside Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola, although nothing has been decided at the moment. "Nothing decided yet; Alonso is 100% focused on finishing the season strong with Leverkusen," said the journalist.
