Liverpool are reportedly interested in bringing Xabi Alonso back to Anfield when his contract at Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season.
The Spaniard is a favourite among Liverpool supporters after he spent five seasons on Merseyside, winning the Champions League and FA Cup.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Bayern are not prepared to offer the midfielder a fresh contract, leading to reports that Liverpool are considering a surprise move for their former player.
Alonso, who will turn 34 later this month, is free to speak to other clubs in January.
