Xabi Alonso is shining in Germany and this is what he is asking for to replace Klopp at Liverpool

Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen had a tremendous Europa League playoff tie: both teams were able to win at home and the tie had to be decided in a penalty shoot-out, where Xabi Alonso's side won. The Germans were the better side in the Principality of Monaco. Despite a five-game winning streak, including last week's win in Leverkusen, Alonso's side were able to turn the tie around after losing 2-3 at home.

Wirtz continued his comeback from a serious injury last season and opened the scoring, soon followed by Ben Yedder's penalty. Exequiel Palacios put the Germans ahead again and Adli, in the 58th minute and after an assist from Wirtz himself, gave the visitors the lead.

However, Embolo equalised in the 84th minute and the tie ended up being decided in a penalty shoot-out. There, Diaby scored the decisive penalty and gave his side qualification after Matazo had missed his own. Xabi Alonso's side will be in the draw for the last 16 of the Europa League.

Xabi Alonso earns 11 million in Germany

According to some sources, Xabi currently has a handsome fortune of 20 million dollars. It has also been revealed that Xabi's current salary is 11 million. Xabi is known to have amassed this sum by playing football professionally and through sponsorship as a player. Xabi's current salary is that of Bayer Leverkusen's coach and would be the same as what he would ask for to join Liverpool, should the owners want to sack Jurgen Klopp, which at the moment seems unlikely.
