The Xabi Alonso option is starting to sound louder at Barça

Xabi Alonso is assuming with remarkable solvency his first adventure like trainer in the First Division. After going through experiences in the 'Factory' of the Real Madrid (2018-2019) and in the Real Sociedad B (2019-2022), the tolosarra took the reins of the Bayer Leverkusen in October of the 2022 in a moment complicated for the German picture. Since, it has worked arduously to reflect a recognizable identity in his square, something that has attained to do of effective way, since at present the Leverkusen has positioned like the absolute leader of the Bundesliga with an advantage of five points, already classified to the eighth of final of the Europe League and also has options to win the DFB-Pokal.

But this is not everything. Alonso has attained to establish a system of attractive game in the BayArena. His approach bases in a game asociativo and a good deal of the balloon, that knows when be vertical. Added to this, the German picture characterises for being ordered and solid in defence. Besides, the exfutbolista has known to take advantage of to the maximum a core of players, that combines youth and experience, to the point to improve in big forms his goodnesses.

These credenciales convert to Xabi Alonso in the fashionable trainer in the European football and put it in the international scene like a very attractive option for several clubs that could need a change of trainer. In fact, there are several teams that apparently are considering the possibility to have the services of the Spanish, whose agreement with the Leverkusen finalises in 2026.

Xabi Alonso, real option for the FC Barcelona?

Curiously, the FC Barcelona would have included to Xabi Alonso in his list of possible replacements for Xavi Hernández, the one who is next to leave the team. This name results striking no by his skills like technical director, that are indisputable, but by the past of the tolosarra like player of the Real Madrid (236 parties). Nevertheless, in the world of the football, at all can be descartado.

As it informs 'SPORT', in the City Condal think that fichar to Alonso would be a hard hit for the team merengue. It is necessary to remember that the picture of Chamartín apparently was interested in hiring to the tolosarra before renewing to Carlo Ancelotti. Besides, the referred source sustains that the club culé would look for to advance to other teams and fichar to Xabi before that anybody. It is necessary to take into account that the Liverpool also would be interested, since it will not have technical director for the next campaign after the retreat of Jürgen Klopp.

In Barcelona think that could have an opportunity with the tolosarra, the one who is son of Periko Alonso, the one who went player of the Barcelona cast (83 parties and nine annotations in three campaigns). Equally, they would want to take advantage of a Barcelona past supposition of Alonso, since it happened his infancy in Catalonia and afterwards in Sabadell.

It will want the tolosarra go out of the Bayer Leverkusen?

It will be necessary to expect to see how develop the events around the figure of Xabi Alonso. It is necessary to see if it is had to leave the Leverkusen and, the most important, if it is interested in assuming a so important challenge like which would have in the Barça. Also it is possible that, if it leaves the German club, decant for joining to the Liverpool or to the Bayern, clubs where already had experiences like player and where apparently still is a very wanted name.
