Xabi Alonso is set to decide his future in March as speculation continues to grow around his next move.
The Liverpool legend has been strongly linked with a step into one of Europe’s biggest jobs following his impressive work at Bayer Leverkusen, with interest building from multiple directions ahead of the summer.
It has now been revealed that Alonso will make a final call on his plans in March, after holding further discussions with Leverkusen as the season reaches a key stage. The Spanish coach has remained focused on the campaign and has not publicly committed to staying beyond the current season.
Talk of a possible return to the Premier League has remained in the background, while Real Madrid have also been mentioned as clubs monitor the situation.
At the same time, former Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked by the Spanish giants in 2018, is plotting a Premier League return as he looks for his next role.
Alonso’s timeline means a clearer picture should emerge next month, with clubs expected to have a better idea of where he stands before decisions accelerate ahead of the summer window.
