Leverkusen targets Alonso's successor, Bayern increases pressure on Wirtz

Having surrendered the title race, Bayer Leverkusen have started to make the calculations for the new season, where the biggest question mark is the future of coach Xabi Alonso. It is clear that the Basque technician remains waiting for Real Madrid, but at this point the obstacle is the return of Carlo Ancelotti, as president Perez does not want to let him go before the Club World Cup, blocking his transfer to Brazil.

In any case, Bayer Leverkusen's management do not want to be caught unprepared, which is why they have started to study the situation to find a successor. According to German media, Leverkusen's staff have identified Erik Ten Hag as the ideal successor to Alonso. The Dutch technician left Man.United, is unemployed, and ready to start a new adventure.

Another strong question mark is the future of the team's star Florian Wirtz. The 21-year-old fantasy player has become Bayern Munich's main target. The departure of Thomas Müller has opened a place for Wirtz. Of course, snatching the team's star from Leverkusen is not easy, but Bayern is ready to meet any economic demands from both parties, club and player, as Wirtz is seen as the present and future of German football.
