Miracles demonstrated by Leverkusen's "Bayer" make the Spaniard Xabi Alonso a highly sought-after commodity in the coaching market.

It was previously reported that the 42-year-old specialist became one of the contenders to take over the position of departing "Liverpool" strategist Jurgen Klopp after the season.

Now, the French press reports that shining coach is being courted by stumbling London's "Chelsea."

One of the club's owners, Behdadas Eghbali, dreams that the Spaniard would arrive during this season, although it is doubtful if that is a feasible task.

X. Alonso has been working in the Bayer team since the fall of 2022.
