Following the discovery of a “contract clause,” Xabi Alonso “could be the next manager of Liverpool.”

For his efforts at Bayer Leverkusen so far, Xabi Alonso has won praise, and recent rumors suggest that the former Liverpool player may reunite with the club.

According to a report, Xabi Alonso would be permitted to leave Bayer Leverkusen in 2024 if Liverpool expressed interest.

If Real Madrid or Bayern Munich expressed interest in the former midfielder-turned-manager at that time, it has been suggested that the 41-year-old could rejoin those teams.

Alonso is having fun in North Rhine-Westphalia as his team prepares to compete for the championship against Thomas Tuchel’s team in the Bundesliga.
Bayern is two points behind Leverkusen at the top, with a one-point lead.

The former Liverpool midfielder has been linked with numerous positions across the continent after guiding his team from a precarious position to the European spots in his debut season.

Alonso has been suggested as a possible replacement for the successful Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose future at the Santiago Bernabeu is uncertain due to rumors that he may take the Brazil job.

Alonso has a clause in his contract that, according to SportBILD via Focus, could allow for a return to one of his three previous teams.

According to rumors, the Spaniard has an agreement allowing him to leave should Real, Bayern Munich, or Liverpool approach him about signing a contract.

Alonso’s three-year extension at the BayArena in August, which extended his contract with the team until 2026, is thought to have prompted the reported development.

Regarding his new contract with Die Werkself, Alonso said, “I’m extremely appreciative of the faith Bayer 04 has placed in me.

“The club management and I have a strong bond and trust because we are both convinced of the same principles and direction on the field.

Additionally, the daily work environment is excellent and laid back.
Additionally, this adds to the enjoyment of working with my team and all other Bayer 04 employees. I think the previous season was successful. But just like the club, I desire more. We are currently making ambitious progress in that direction.

More news……..

Liverpool has been informed that a £87 million winger could succeed Mohamed Salah.

Pundit Stephen Warnock has named “the only player” who could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.

Speculation is rife over Salah’s future at Anfield following strong interest from the Saudi Pro League over the summer.

Al Ittihad ultimately saw a bid of around £150m rejected by Liverpool.
And when Darren Bent asked on TalkSPORT whether he would sell the Egyptian for that kind of fee in the near future, former Red Warnock said there should be someone lined up to replace Salah – and that he would offer the man who he thinks he can do it.

“I wouldn’t sell him this season, maybe next, but you have to have someone on the pitch,” began the expert.
“The only player that comes to mind is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli.

“He’s the only player you look at and think ‘young, potential, he can play’, but he’s a left wing player, could he play on the right?

“[Dominik] Szoboszlai, he played there in Leipzig, will he play higher if he goes? The scouting network won’t be active now, right, knowing that Salah is getting closer to that point.”

Liverpool advised to go for Kvara

Last year at this time not many people were aware of the magical quality of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

But fast forward 12 months and he could face any team in the world.
He may have faded towards the end of the season, but he was still a key factor in Napoli’s first Scudetto win in 33 years.

Twelve goals and ten assists in Serie A have everyone talking about “Kvaradona”, and Europe’s traditional elite are all connected, including Liverpool.

So far, Napoli are determined to keep the 22-year-old.
There was talk of a figure of 87 million pounds needed to remove him from southern Italy.
However, if Liverpool were to sell Salah, raising that kind of money wouldn’t be a big deal.
If the Reds’ recruitment team – like Warnock – believed Kvaratskhelia was the right man to replace Mo, they would certainly be happy to pay.

Traditionally, however, Liverpool have not always chosen the most obvious option.
And even if, as Warnock says, the Georgian is more of a left-footed player than a right-handed one, he would still be a fairly obvious and successful signing.

If the Reds are convinced, it would be no surprise if they chose Kvara as Salah’s potential successor. But we think a more natural replacement in the form of Pedro Neto might be a better bet for now
