Xabi Alonso has confirmed that he will return to the city of Liverpool as soon as he can.
The Bayern Munich midfielder spent five years at Anfield between 2004 and 2009, and apart from winning the Champions League, the FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the Reds, he also welcomed his son into the world during his days in England.
With his playing career set to wrap up at season's end, Xabi says a visit back to the Merseyside city is definitely on the cards, especially as Jontxu always asks about his place of birth.
“That's 100% sure," he told Liverpool Echo.
“We are really looking forward to going back. I have heard great things about the new Main Stand.
“My son is desperate to go. He's Liverpool born and always asks: 'Dad. when are we going to Liverpool?'
“I say: 'Okay, but at the moment I have busy weekends! We will go, don't worry.'"
