Xabi Alonso would be allowed to leave Bayer Leverkusen in 2024 if there is mutual interest from Liverpool, according to a report.
It has been claimed that the 41-year-old could join former clubs Real Madrid or Bayern Munich at that juncture, if they were to register an interest in the midfielder-turned-manager.
Alonso is enjoying his time in North Rhine-Westphalia as his team how to challenge for the title against Thomas Tuchel’s side in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen sit one point clear at the summit with Bayern two points adrift.
After leading his men from a precarious position to the European places in his debut season, the former Liverpool midfielder has become increasingly linked with various positions around the continent.
According to SportBILD, via Focus, Alonso has a clause in his contract that could pave way to a return to one of his three former clubs.
It has been reported that should Real, Bayern or Liverpool approach the Spaniard for his services, there is an agreement that he can leave.
The reported development comes in light of Alonso’s three-year extension at the BayArena in August, keeping him contracted at the club until 2026.
