Not Liverpool, the shocking Premier League club Xabi Alonso was tipped to join

Bayer Leverkusen’s coach Xabi Alonso is the main appointed manager to replace Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool once the German coach decided to announce his exit from the club at the end of the season, but many things could still happen around the young and promising Bundesliga manager.

In this sense, the Spanish coach has already been linked with a potential interest in his signing from Bayern Munich, whose dirigeants would be great admirers of the job the Spanish former midfielder is doing with Leverkusen, while Real Madrid or Barcelona have also been rumored to be tracking him to give him a chance in the summer.

However, a former Premier League player would have recently joined the debate on the future of Alonso, as he would have profited from an interview with the betting house Betway to give surprising and shocking advice to the Bayer Leverkusen manager about the destination he should choose in England instead of Liverpool.

The player in question would be the French retired midfielder Emmanuel Petit, who played for Arsenal and Chelsea in the 90s, and he would have tipped Xabi Alonso to join the Blues to replace Mauricio Pochettino, who could be sacked from the West London club.

Alonso’s plans would be completely different

However, Alonso would have really different plans, as according to the German site BILD, he would have told his agent that he would be interested in a move to one of the clubs he played for, which would give possibilities to sign him to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
