Shabi Alonso's announcement that he will remain at Liverpool and Bayern is a huge loss for Liverpool and Bayern, but on the contrary, it is good news for Liverpool, especially for Spanish winger Alex Kilmodo. 28-year-old midfielder joined Liverpool on a free for this season. His latest valuation has risen to €45 million (around HK$380 million) under Xabi.
Born in Barcelona youth training but missing out on a team, Alyskemodo joined Binfiga in 2015 for a transfer fee of just €2.1 million, contributing 27 goals and 66 assists in 303 appearances over eight seasons, before exploding onto the scene under Xabi on a free transfer to Joaquinson last season, logging 11 goals and 15 assists last week, also his career highs.
As a result of his performance, Aleksimodo was selected for the Spanish national team for the first time last year, and has handed out one assist in two appearances so far.
When Alyeski Modu joined Leverkusen last year, it was estimated by Transfermarkt to be worth €25 million, rising to €45 million half a season later, underlining the value of the player in relation to Xabi.
