Liverpool and Bayern Munich are leading the race to sign Xabi Alonso in the summer with their managers set to leave at the end of the season.
Coincidentally, the two clubs happened to be Alonso's former clubs, where he had an outstanding spell during a brilliant playing career that spanned top clubs in Europe.
Alonso had reportedly hinted he would only take a new offer from one of his former clubs that he frequented as a player if he wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen.
The two clubs stand on equal pecking passing that particular criterion as listed by Alonso. Away from the 'former club clause,' it appears Bayern Munich are leading Liverpool in the race for Alonso.
According to German outlet Sky Xabi Alonso has revealed he would prefer a move to Bayern Munich than Liverpool for some key reasons touching on his experience and prospects of the new offer.
According to the report, Alonso has taken his chances of success into consideration in chosing his next stop.
The 42-year-old believes he is more likely to succeed at Bayern Munich than Liverpool due to the level of his experience. To him, the vacancy which will be left by Klopp when he leaves will be difficult for him to fill immediately compared to the task at Bayern Munich when Thomas Tuchel leaves.
As an added advantage, he is also hoping to rely on his experience in the Bundesliga to attain success instead of starting afresh in the Premier League.
Despite the odds against Liverpool in the move for Xabi Alonso, the Reds are still hopeful of signing him. However, other options are still on the table such as Ruben Amorim should Bayern win the race to sign Alonso.
