Liverpool may have already lined up their first two potential signings under their next manager.
Should Xabi Alonso be the man to take the reins at Anfield come the end of the season, it’s certainly possible that he could look to Bayer Leverkusen to strengthen his new side.
HITC (as confirmed by the Mirror) reports that the Reds scouts were in attendance for the Bundesliga team’s shock 3-0 win over Bayern Munich, watching Piero Hincapie and Florian Wirtz.

Moves that could make sense for Liverpool
Our need for a left-sided centre-back has been extremely well-documented in recent months.
Should we bring Alonso to the Anfield dugout this summer, defensive reinforcements are likely sought out with the Spaniard’s back-three at Leverkusen in mind.
Wirtz, as one of Europe’s most prominent young talents, will always earn links to the top outfits of the world.
His positional versatility will certainly appeal to a club potentially tasked with replacing Mo Salah at the end of the campaign (given his ability to play on both flanks of the front-three and mainly as an attacking midfielder).
Whether we’re keen to commit a potential nine-digit sum to land his signature remains to be seen.
Both great players, no longer prospects. Both would be welcome.
I welcome the idea that xabi Alonso is the next future, come next season .he is aprominate super 🌟 in management
