Bayern Munich open talks with Xabi Alonso to become next manager

Bayern Munich are already in talks with Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso about replacing Thomas Tuchel after this season, according to Sky in Germany.

Liverpool is also keen on Alonso to take over from Jurgen Klopp, but Bayern have reportedly received a positive signal from the Spaniard during initial talks.

The 42-year-old would cost the Bundesliga champions between £12.8m-£21.3m (€15m-€25m) in compensation.

“They have the information that, if he changes, he will go to Bayern and not Liverpool.

“Alonso says that Liverpool and the [Jurgen] Klopp legacy are a difficult number. You could lose more than win,” Sky in Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports.
