Cesc Fabregas explicit on perfect candidate to succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool boss

After Jurgen Klopp departs Liverpool in the summer of 2020, Cesc Fabregas, a former player for Arsenal and Chelsea, has shared his opinions on who should take over as manager of the team.

When Jurgen Klopp leaves his position as manager of Liverpool at the end of the current campaign, Cesc Fabregas thinks Xabi Alonso would be the perfect successor.

Given his impressive early coaching record, Alonso is one of the early contenders to succeed Klopp. After finishing second last when Alonso took over in October 2022, Bayer Leverkusen is now leading the Bundesliga and two points ahead of Bayern Munich.

Fabregas has outlined Alonso’s qualifications to take over at Anfield the next season, highlighting his intellect, disposition, mindset, and bond with the team from his five years as a player at Liverpool.

According to Fabregas, “he’s a very intelligent guy,” the BBC’s Planet Premier League podcast reported. “There, he has been. He has experienced everything, and he is aware of the high standards Liverpool has established. He is adored by the audience, and as a coach, I believe he is excellent. He has insightful insights.

“He may have a slightly different style of play, but I believe he is versatile. I used to see him around when he was the Real Sociedad B coach and now he works at Bayer Leverkusen. He does diverse actions. He has the correct mindset and can adjust to the circumstances and the various kinds of players he has.

“Despite his youth, he has very distinct ideas, which is a plus. He is a stable, intellectual man with the ideal disposition. Therefore, it’s a big ask, but I think he could pull it off.”

Alonso, however, has downplayed rumours of a possible transfer to Anfield and stated he is still entirely focused on Leverkusen’s pursuit of the league championship. “Speculation is normal, my focus is here on Bayer Leverkusen,” he stated.

“I am currently really content with my players at Leverkusen.” Naturally, there was a lot of surprise in Liverpool. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for what Jurgen accomplished there. Here, I am very content.

“I’m having fun at work here. Every day feels like a challenge to me, and every game is that. I’m travelling through Leverkusen in style. I’m not sure about the next one. I’m reflecting on my current location.

“I’m having fun and I’m at a terrific position. What matters most is Saturday. Right now, I don’t really care what will transpire in the future.”

Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal are “queuing up” to sign a €60 million Bundesliga player.

After only six months in the Bundesliga, Willian Pacho is drawing significant attention, according to German media.

The Ecuadorian international helped Royal Antwerp win the Jupiler Pro League the previous year, and as a result, he signed a summer contract with Eintracht Frankfurt. Pacho was purchased for €9 million with the obvious goal of selling him for a huge profit down the road.

The 22-year-old, who was already well-regarded when playing for Belgium, has proven that the Eintracht management was right to have trusted him. Pacho has impressed with his awareness, athleticism, and ball handling skills this season, making him one of Germany’s most outstanding defenders. Still, even Frankfurt locals were caught off guard by his quick ascent to fame.

The original intention, according to BILD, was to retain Pacho in the Bundesliga until 2025 or 2026, but his strong play this season may hasten his exit. According to the article, the Premier League’s elite have already taken notice of the Ecuadorian.

Pacho to the Premier League?
The teenage defender is reportedly drawing serious interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Real Madrid and Napoli, two more powerful teams in Europe, are reportedly also eager to sign the 22-year-old.

According to the rumour, Pacho might be sold as soon as the summer arrives if the right offer is made. Since there is no release clause for the left-footed center-back, Eintracht will eventually control the ball.

The German team now values Pacho at approximately €60 million, but they know he will be in high demand come summertime due to the lack of excellent left-footed centre backs available. As a result, his cost can increase much more
