Mark Webber, a rather renowned Alonso fan, was asked yesterday on an Instagram Q&A if he thought Alonso would ever be back in a competitive F1 team.
Highly unlikely. Midfield at best.

“I don’t know, it’s not my decision. I don’t know if he wants to come back or not, we will have to ask him,” Raikkonen said.“But he is younger than me and keeps driving. It doesn’t matter if he does the Dakar or other things if you just keep driving. I did rallies two years, you always learn things and it is not very difficult to return,” he added.“But another thing is to find a good place to return, that is the most complicated part, even more complicated than driving.”

Webber wants to believe that it is unlikely, which does not mean that Alonso do not want to.
It also depends what you make out of Midfield.
Does it really matter if the title contender is not coming from current top three?

Kimi actually hits the nail on the head there - yes he could come back, but fighting in the midfield 2015-18 clearly wasn't enough for him and so he'd have to come back to race for Mercedes, Red Bull or Ferrari. And that's surely an extremely long shot.
Better off trying to win Indy probably.

Kimi still finds reasons to drive in F1, and no one calls him pathetic. With the advent of bigger teams sharing their tech with lower teams, Alonso might find some fun in being a cat amongst the pigeons, and force the top three to reconsider the value of running lesser drivers in their second seats.
It's pretty clear that he doesn't plan on hanging up his helmet just yet, and has stated that he still loves F1 life.

top three wont hire him..no way..Mclaren also hire two drivers in a good shape
so if he come back,Renalut is the only choice..it just feel like 10 years ago,when Alonso returned to Renault and plan to go to big team (Ferrari)
I wonder if he feel tired of this circus, always going from bad to worse

Alonso is not Kimi, Kimi can drive around, collect the paycheck at the end of the month and he is happy. I don't think Alonso can do that. He is too competitive.
