Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer agree on next Liverpool’s manager after Jurgen Klopp depart

The two think that Xabi Alonso, a former Reds midfielder, might be the person to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso is a possibility to return to Anfield, according to Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.

After spending five years on Merseyside, the Spaniard began managing Real Madrid’s youth team in 2018. He later managed Real Sociedad’s B team before taking over at German team Bayer Leverkusen more than a year ago.

His team has won nine of their ten Bundesliga games thus far, with their most recent victory coming over Hoffenheim on the road this past weekend, 3-2. Additionally, he led Die Schwarzroten to the Europa League semifinals the previous year and they have won all three of their matches so far in this year’s competition.

Given that the Reds are also undefeated in Group E, it is possible that Jurgen Klopp and Alonso will reunite during the tournament’s later stages. Klopp is hoping to add the one trophy that has eluded him in his eight years at Anfield.

With his previous contract set to expire in the summer of 2026, Klopp, 56, signed a new deal with Liverpool in 2022, extending his stay until the summer of 2026. Beyond that, though, Alonso, the winner of the Champions League, has been mentioned by both Lineker and Shearer as a possible successor to Klopp in the future.

Shearer stated on the podcast The Rest Is Football: “He’s getting great reviews, isn’t he? He’s had a great start to his managerial and coaching career. If he continues on, it won’t be long until people begin to observe him if they haven’t already, and you never know.”

“I think there’s every chance that Carlo Ancelotti ends up there as manager of a certain Jude Bellingham once he walks away or is pushed out, as is often the case at Real Madrid,” Lineker stated. Furthermore, he may follow (Jurgen) Klopp in the future. You always do with these things, don’t you? Steven Gerrard will always be there.”

Shearer said, “That might all change in a year,” to wrap up the discussion. However, it appears that he will stay at the top for a very long time, doesn’t he?”

Expert: Liverpool’s demand for Mohamed Salah will be “100%” accepted; “it’s happening.”

Mohamed Salah moving from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia in 2024 is “inevitable,” according to Gabby Agbonlahor.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former striker for Aston Villa stated that while Jurgen Klopp won’t be pleased to lose him, it might be “good business” for the Merseysiders.

Monday, October 30, Football Insider reported that despite continued Saudi interest, Liverpool will not sell their 31-year-old top player, Mohamed Salah, in January.

The Saudi Pro League is reportedly working behind the scenes to recruit forward and Man City star Kevin De Bruyne to the Middle East in the summer of 2024, insiders have also told Football Insider.

With 13 games played across all competitions, Salah has recorded 10 goals and four assists to start the 2023–24 campaign in customary fashion.

His alleged £350,000-per-week deal is scheduled to end in June 2025.

Agbonlahor said, “I do see Mo Salah in Saudi Arabia, 100%,” to Ewan Kingsbury of Football Insider.

“He is going to be the player with the biggest salary. It does occur, and I observe it during the summer.

“There will be one year remaining on his contract, and Liverpool will be aware of this and able to find a replacement.”

“I don’t believe Liverpool is motivated by money. With the requested fee, customers will receive anything they want.

Even though Klopp won’t want to part with him, it’s possible that he’ll be granted the money to find a younger replacement.

“Whether Salah’s legs will begin to fail in the upcoming years is unknown. In my opinion, it would be wise for business to let him depart in 2024
