Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso is reportedly ‘not interested’ in making an audacious move to either of Liverpool, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid as he looks set to stay at the Bay Arena this summer.
Jurgen Klopp revealed last month that he will be departing Liverpool to take a break from football, so the club are searching for a new manager.
In a similar situation, Bayern Munich’s current manager Thomas Tuchel mutually agreed to leave the Allianz Arena in the summer due to the team’s poor run of play.
Alonso, a former midfielder of Bayern and Liverpool, is thought to be the early favorite for both positions following his performances this season with Leverkusen.
According to Football365, legendary German Lothar Matthaus believes that Alonso will stay at Leverkusen for the upcoming season. Despite reports that Liverpool are now his “clear preference” over the Bundesliga giants this summer.

Matthaus said: “His dream may be to one day coach Bayern, Liverpool or Real Madrid. But, in my opinion, he is not done at Leverkusen yet.
“Xabi is not someone who gets carried away by big names, he has celebrated too many successes as a player for that.
“I can’t think of any coach in Europe or the world who fits Bayern Munich better than Xabi Alonso. But Alonso is focused on Bayer Leverkusen and I think that is good.
“[He] is not yet interested in Bayern Munich, nor in Liverpool or Real Madrid. He is only interested in winning three titles with Leverkusen in the next two and a half months.”
Alonso has led Leverkusen to an unprecedented record as the first German team to go 33 games unbeaten across all competitions.
The Spaniard is currently leading Leverkusen to their first ever Bundesliga title as they are eight points ahead of second-place Bayern.
The Vizekusen are also in contention to win the DFB Pokal as they are billed to clash against Fortuna Dusseldorf in the semi-final of the competition.
