Alonso’s impressive performance has attracted attention from top European clubs, with Liverpool emerging as a prominent contender. As they prepare to say goodbye to Jurgen Klopp in the summer, speculations suggest a potential move for their former midfielder.
When asked about Bayer Leverkusen’s ability to retain Alonso beyond this season, Rolfes expressed confidence, stating to Sport1 that he is “sure” and provided three compelling reasons to support his belief.
Rolfes outlined the foundation of his confidence, citing Alonso’s contract until 2026 as a crucial factor. Additionally, he highlighted the player’s comfort within the club, both personally and with his family, emphasizing Alonso’s awareness of the value he holds in Leverkusen.
“He has a very good team, we will have a good perspective next year and there will be no change to the team.”
What2Bet understands that Alonso’s contract with Leverkusen does include a release clause, which is applicable solely for the Spaniard’s former clubs – Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. Reports elsewhere place the clause at between €15m-€18m.
While Madrid is committed to Carlo Ancelotti, who recently extended his contract, Alonso stands out as a prominent candidate for his former employers.
Liverpool’s need for a new manager is evident, and Bayern might also be in the market after an underwhelming season that could result in them missing Bundesliga honors for the first time since 2012. The current boss, Thomas Tuchel, is yet to win over fans, adding uncertainty to Bayern’s managerial situation.
Leverkusen has experienced only four non-victorious outcomes in all competitions this season, maintaining an undefeated streak since the conclusion of the 2022/23 campaign.
