Liverpool Is A Dangerous Move For Xabi Alonso – Owen

Ex-Liverpool player, Michael Owen has come out to say that he believes it will be dangerous for Xabi Alonso to swap Bayer Leverkusen for Liverpool. He recently revealed that Bayern Munich would be a less risky move, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, there are definitely both pros and cons for both clubs, but Bayern Munich would be the safer option because they are pretty much guaranteed winning the league every season.

Owen added that Liverpool is a dangerous move for Alonso since replacing Klopp will surely be difficult.

His words, “It’s a big dilemma for Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid is another possibility in the future but it looks like unless he stays at Leverkusen then it’s a straight fight between Liverpool and Bayern and you can see the pros and cons for both. He’s not been a manager long so I think the safer option is going to Bayern Munich.

Although they’re not going to win the league this year because of him at Leverkusen, it’s almost guaranteeing a league title with Bayern winning eleven in a row before this season. Straight away the team will be back to winning the league, it’s virtually a given. So for his progression, his stock is only going to go absolutely through the roof if he makes that safe move to Bayern.

Liverpool is a dangerous move. Following Jurgen Klopp is going to be so difficult. They don’t play in the style of play of Xabi Alonso at the moment, they play a different style, so it might not be that easy to convert. Or he might just be a great manager that can coach in different ways. But we’ve seen with Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and how those clubs went through a lot of pain.

We’ve now got a sustained period of success at Liverpool under Klopp and the next manager can’t do better than that so the only way is down maybe? It’s a dangerous, risky move and the Bayern Munich one is a safe option, with his credibility probably going through the roof, and then he can have his pick again should he need it. It’s a really difficult one at the moment and I can see pros and cons for both clubs.”
