Bayern Munich have also made Alonso a top target as they seek a successor to Thomas Tuchel for the 2024-25 campaign.

Bayer Leverkusen's sporting director Rolfes, though, remains hopeful that Alonso won't be tempted by Liverpool or Bayern Munich in the summertime.

'Xabi knows what he has on the club. He has stated that many occasions. That is how he works together with his group and his coaching workforce day by day.'
