Former midfielder Xabi Alonso on verge of Bayern Munich transfer
There were brief rumours that the Spaniard would make a return to Merseyside this summer, but now the Allianz Arena beckons for Alonso, reports the Guardian.
Bayern head coach Pep Guardiola wants the 32-year-old in an £8m deal as a replacement for the recently departed Toni Kroos – who joined Real Madrid this summer.
Alonso spent five years at Anfield, most famously helping them to triumph in the 2005 Champions League final.
