Liverpool Transfer News

One doesn’t often come across teams trying to sign a 34-year-old player unless he is Xabi Alonso. Talksport have reported that both Klopp and Benitez, Alonso’s manager from his time at Liverpool, are keen on resigning the player for their respective clubs.

Out of contract at the end of the current season, the Bayern Munich man would be eligible to sign a pre-contract come January. Despite getting to the wrong end of 30, the Spaniard remains one of the mainstays of Pep Guardiola’s side operating efficiently from a deeper position.

While he might favour a move back to his homeland, the opportunity to return to Liverpool, a city he is adored in and the possibility of working under a manager like Klopp would definitely make Alonso think twice. It is widely believed that Klopp is keen on landing the midfielder to help groom the current set of midfielders at Anfield.
