While Klopp earns €16 million at Liverpool, this is what Alonso earns in Bayer

Only a few hours after Jürgen Klopp announced his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, the Reds would have already identified their main option to replace the German manager ahead of the next campaign, as the club former midfielder and currently Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso seems to be the option preferred to replace Klopp in the position.

In this sense, the Anfield institution would have already started to evaluate the costs of the operation, and the news could be really positive for Liverpool according to the numbers delivered by the football site Transfermarkt about the salaries perceived by both managers on these days.

Following these sources, signing Xabi Alonso could be quite easy for Liverpool, regarding that the Spanish coach doesn’t have a strong release clause in his contract, and everyone in the club would be optimistic of being able to take the manager to Anfield for a not really high amount of money in the summer.

In addition, in terms of salary, the former Liverpool star would be currently earning only €6 million per season at Bayer Leverkusen, which would be ten million less than the €16 million that currently Jürgen Klopp earns as a manager of the Reds, which could mean an easier negotiation with the coach to take him to Anfield in the summer.
