Manchester City interested in Bundesliga manager if Pep Guardiola does not renew current contract

Xabi Alonso's surprising potential destination, Manchester City, has been mentioned in relation to reports that the Spaniard was planning his next move before to joining Bayer Leverkusen. After a standout season in Germany, Alonso continues to be linked to some of Europe's major teams and is regarded as a potential replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Due to his tactical approach, Alonso and Klopp have been compared. When the Liverpool manager leaves at the end of the current campaign, the Spaniard is the front-runner to take over. After making an impression during his first full year at Leverkusen, Alonso may possibly be interested in the Man City position. Following his meteoric rise at Leverkusen, the former Real Madrid star is alleged to have informed his agent about four clubs he wanted to lead in the future.

After achieving success in his very first managerial position, Alonso intended to accept one of three top positions in Europe. The plan included Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Liverpool. For Alonso, positions at Anfield and the defending Bundesliga winners Bayern seem to be the most plausible.

Numerous football analysts also think that, given Pep Guardiola's contract expiring in 2025, Alonso would be inclined to take over as City manager. With announcing his plan to quit his agreement two years early, Klopp will take a 12-month hiatus from coaching. Alonso is thought to be a natural replacement because of his high-pressing, disciplined approach.
