Alonso, who has guided Bayer Leverkusen to the semi-finals of the Europa League, said of the suggestion: 'I've been in football for many years, rumours are normal but we still have a lot to achieve.
'That's why my head is 100 per cent here for the last few months. And my head is also 100 per cent here for next season.
