David Ornstein has claimed that Xabi Alonso has not yet made a definitive choice regarding his managerial future.
This comes amid continuing links with Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and his former club, Liverpool.
“Bayern are going all out for Alonso but I’m not aware of any firm decisions being made by him,” the Athletic reporter wrote in his latest Ask Ornstein.
“He may be leaning in one direction but that doesn’t mean it can’t change. That’s why Bayern, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen will be exploring their options.
“There will be other teams across Europe embarking upon managerial and sporting director changes this summer, too, so there are moving parts and repercussions all over the place.”
Both Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp have confirmed that they will be leaving their respective clubs this summer.
Alonso’s Decision Unlikely to Be Heard Soon
Bayer Leverkusen, known as ‘Neverkusen’ in their homeland of Germany, are presented with a historic opportunity this season.
Securing their first Bundesliga title would mark a monumental accomplishment, perhaps even drawing parallels to Klopp’s feats during his time in the German league.
Given this, it’s understandable that Alonso is completely dedicated to the team’s cause in North Rhine-Westphalia.
There’s little doubt that his focus will remain steadfast throughout the campaign.
