Alarmingly, it has been reported that Bayern Munich has received encouraging feedback from Alonso during preliminary talks. The Spaniard’s potential move to Bayern Munich is anticipated to come with a hefty price tag ranging between €15 million (£12.8 million) and €25 million (£21.4 million) to secure his services from Bayer Leverkusen.

This latest development provides the most concrete indication yet of Alonso’s future plans. Should Liverpool fail to secure their former midfielder, it would undoubtedly be a significant setback in their quest for Klopp’s successor.
