But at the same time there is intense competition from other, more popular clubs when a coach and a team like Girona does incredibly well. We will see a similar a problem occurring for Bayer Leverkusen. The talk is all over the place about Xabi Alonso's next coaching position and I don't even want to know how many players will leave the club by the end of the season. Money could solve some of the problems, but Bayer Leverkusen would never be able to convince the majority of the players and certainly not Xabi Alonso to stay there when there are offers from world clubs like Liverpool.
For Alonso, what is being actively discussed now is a possible transfer to Liverpool or Bayern, and according to the latest news, Alonso is leaning more towards Bayern. Most likely, he can take several leaders with him and you are right, with his departure, some players may also want to change the club. For Bayer and Alonso, now is a golden time, as long as he is doing well, he can choose the best option for himself.
I have read some interesting news somewhere that Alonso's decision could on the one hand be driven by his passion for tough challenges and he is not a guy who likes to take the easiest path, which then would made most sense if he went to Liverpool and became the coach there as the Premier League is the biggest competition someone can go for. But on the other hand I saw an interesting statement from someone that Alonso might not feel like the time is right to go to Liverpool, trying to fill the gap that someone like Klopp is leaving behind. I see the point there as it is really hardly conceivable that Alonso can make history and replace Klopp in the hearts of the Liverpool fans. But if he decides to go to Bayern Munich, a lot is in shambles there and he could write his very own chapter with a successful Bayern team, collect some titles and then make the next move. Both decisions would make sense in my opinion.
