Bayern Munich are said to have opened talks with Xabi Alonso about their managerial job.
The German giants are losing the Bundesliga to Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen at present.
Sky Sport Deutschland have stated that Alonso would prefer a move to Bayern at present.
He is also wanted by Liverpool, but may feel that challenge is a little too steep this early in his managerial career.
While expectations at Bayern may be as high, they do have vast resources compared to other Bundesliga clubs.
Liverpool are still hoping they can lure Alonso to replace Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
