After an impressive 2023/2024 season, Xabi Alonso has identified another key player that will make his team difficult to defeat.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is not resting on his oars, as he is on the move to land another key player that would bolster his squad.

The former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich legend is set to raid one of his former clubs, Liverpool, for Cameroonian defender Joel Matip.

32-year-old Joel Matip is available for free after his contract with the Merseyside club expired at the beginning of July.

Last season, Xabi Alonso led Bayer Leverkusen to its first-ever Bundesliga triumph, beating the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to the title.

Like Xhaka, like Matip - Alonso aims to keep winning[size=12[color=#000099][/color]pt][/size]

One of Alonso’s magical decisions was the addition of former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka, who joined for £21.4m from the Gunners.

The addition of an experienced center-back like Joel Matip to partner Jonathan Tah could also prove to be another masterstroke by the highly revered Xabi Alonso to ensure his side maintains the high levels of last season.

Xhaka was the magician last season. Matip could just prove to be the marquee signing this season.
