“German outlet Bild are now claim that Liverpool have made an approach for Alonso. It’s outlined that the Reds have made contact with his agent, Inaki Ibanez, in an attempt to bring him back to Anfield.
“But while Alonso is the red-hot favourite to succeed Klopp, the same report outlines that Leverkusen are relaxed about the situation. They expected interest in Alonso given the fine job he has done at the club and there is hope internally that he will choose to stay.
