Athletistic / Football. Insider Santi Aoun has explained why Xabi Alonso turned down offers from the giants and stayed at Bayer.
According to his information, Chelsea immediately gave up, since the option with Liverpool was much more interesting for the Spaniard. But Alonso didn’t want to replace Klopp, which is why Xabi also rejected the Reds’ offer. There was an interesting offer from Bayern, but a possible option with Real Madrid appeared on the horizon, which interested him more. Now, Xabi has decided to stay in Leverkusen and see what offers he receives in a year.
Previously, there were reports that the extension with Bayer could be because Alonso wants to become the next Real Madrid coach after Ancelotti.
