Bayern are almost certain to lose the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen with eight games left to play in the Bundesliga this season.

“Clubs like Liverpool, Real Madrid, Leverkusen and FC Bayern are working on it,” Hoeness told Ran Sport.

“He’s proven that he can be a coach for the big time. There are hardly any coaches who come into question who are currently free, who don’t have a job or who are on sabbatical.

“It’s not so easy to tell them that FC Bayern is the measure of all things.”

Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, while Jurgen Klopp announced his decision to step down at Liverpool in January.

Alonso may also attract the interest of other clubs aside Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen with Barcelona, Man United and Chelsea other clubs that could be on the lookout for coaches ahead of the summer.

The former midfielder’s contract at Leverkusen runs until 2026.
