According to FootMercato, Alonso was approached by Reds officials as soon as Klopp's departure was confirmed last November. Liverpool's interest in the former Spaniard is clear, but his signing looks to be a difficult challenge.

In England, they acknowledge that securing Alonso will be no easy task. Although Liverpool see him as their top choice, Alonso still has a current contract with Bayer Leverkusen. The German club, for their part, are confident that the Spaniard will remain with them for at least one more season. This situation leaves Alonso's future and the possibility of a move to England up in the air.

With Leverkusen hoping to retain the Spaniard, Alonso's fate remains a question mark as both parties continue to explore options and seek a deal that satisfies both sides.
