    Xabi Alonso speaks out about the connection between Bayern Munich and Liverpool after making "contact."

    In response to inquiries about his future, Xabi Alonso has addressed rumours that he has been contacted by Bayern Munich and Liverpool over their respective manager searches.

    Xabi Alonso has responded to rumours over his future in light of his connections to Bayern Munich and Liverpool. The head coach of Bayer Leverkusen declined to say if he has spoken with either team.

    The consensus is that Alonso will replace Jürgen Klopp as manager when the German departs at the end of the current campaign. However, other teams are also considering the former midfielder’s services besides the Reds.

    Alonso is reportedly very high on Bayern’s list of candidates to succeed Thomas Tuchel. Whether Bayern surpasses Leverkusen in the Bundesliga race or not, the former Chelsea manager is also expected to leave at the end of the current campaign.

    As of right now, Alonso’s team leads the dominant Bavarian team by eight points and is undefeated in all leagues this season. Due to his recent success, the former Spain international has drawn a lot of interest; as a result, two of his former clubs are currently searching for a new manager.

    Bayern and Liverpool have also gotten in touch with Alonso’s management, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany. The latter team sees him as their preferred Tuchel substitute. However, Alonso declined to comment on his future this week.
    Bayern, Liverpool?

    “I don’t have anything new to share,” Alonso (per the ECHO) stated. “I am without a doubt the coach of Bayer Leverkusen at the moment. I have nothing fresh to say about the future.

    “Have I heard from Bayern via phone? That is merely conjectural. Once more, I have nothing fresh to share.”

    According to Liverpool.com, Alonso will naturally keep his cards close to his vest. He most likely won’t respond to us definitively, at least not while Leverkusen is competing for the Bundesliga championship.

    The former midfielder for Liverpool is in an interesting situation. Even though he has only been in charge of Leverkusen for one complete season, two of the top teams in the world are vying for his services.

    To make sure it doesn’t pass up what would be an incredible chance, Liverpool may need to move quickly not only in the manager search but also in the hiring of a new sporting director.

    Report: Xabi Alonso response to Liverpool job after contact made

    Report: Xabi Alonso response to Liverpool job after contact made

    Xabi Alonso, a legend of Liverpool, has been linked to a return to Anfield ever since Jurgen Klopp made his departure known.

    According to reports, Liverpool has gotten in touch with Xabi Alonso to gauge his interest in succeeding Jurgen Klopp after the German retires this summer.

    The French publication Foot Mercato has confirmed this, chasing rumours that linked the Bayer Leverkusen manager to a reunion with his old team nearly as soon as Klopp declared his choice last month.

    During his time at Anfield, Alonso was a hugely popular player. Under Rafa Benitez, his elegant midfield stylings were crucial to their victories in the 2005 Champions League, the 2006 FA Cup, and their most convincing Premier League run to date, which ended in a narrow loss to Manchester United in 2009.

    After leaving the team that summer, Alonso spent his last seasons at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He then turned to coaching, beginning his managerial career with Real Sociedad B until joining Leverkusen in 2022.

    The former Spanish international is currently leading the team to their first-ever Bundesliga championship after doing admirably in the role. After defeating Bayern of second place 3-0 on Saturday, Leverkusen leads the table by five points with 13 games remaining and an undefeated record.

    It makes sense, then, that Alonso has played coy about the speculations that he is interested in joining Liverpool, stating only that he is content with his current position and committed to finishing the task at hand.

    In Foot Mercato’s reporting, that position has been reaffirmed without specific quotations, implying that they have independently investigated the matter.

    Although Liverpool leads the table by just two points above Manchester City and Arsenal—the latter of which has a game in hand—Jurgen Klopp is hoping to end his career on a high note.

    Next weekend, Liverpool will play Chelsea in the League Cup final at Wembley before taking on Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round. Next Friday, they will also find out who their opponents are in the Europa League round of 16.

    Liverpool receives a message from Xabi Alonso as Harry Kane and Bayern Munich are belittled.

    Bayer Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich 3-0 to extend their incredible unbeaten streak. Harry Kane, the captain of England, hardly got a kick as the home team went five points ahead of the Bundesliga standings.

    Should Xabi Alonso successfully shake off Bayer Leverkusen’s unkind “Neverkusen” label, it may perhaps lead him back to Anfield.

    Liverpool’s executives can’t afford to wait to finalise a contract given Saturday night’s crushing 3-0 humiliation of German champions Bayern Munich, which has placed the high-flying squad led by the Spaniard—who has never won the Bundesliga—in charge of their Bundesliga future.

    Before Germany’s largest club visited them in the nation’s match of the season, Leverkusen had won 26 of their 30 games this season and scored 90 goals. They are still unbeaten. Their greatest challenger, Bayern, was supposed to be the team that would dash their dreams of winning the crown.

    Instead, Alonso’s team easily defeated Thomas Tuchel’s team at the BayArena, outworking and outmanoeuvring them, living up to their moniker “Werkself” and going five points clear at the top of the table. Harry Kane hardly got a kick in the match.

    “We performed admirably,” Alonso declared. “The team had excellent discipline and cohesiveness. The entire show was excellent. Every player put on an excellent show. They had virtually no chances, whereas we had plenty.

    “I can’t do it alone; I have a wonderful team with outstanding players. The secret is that we have a lot of energy. Nothing is hidden. The players have faith, and that is our desired outcome.

    Joshua KimmichLiverpool receives a message from Xabi Alonso as Harry Kane and Bayern Munich are belittled.

    Ironically, it was defender Josip Stanisic, who was on loan from his parent club, who opened the score for the home team after just 18 minutes of play by converting Robert Andrich’s driven effort from close range.

    Tuchel is not a fan of Joshua Kimmich, therefore Bayern was lacklustre with him missing out on midfield. Lots much stuff, yet terribly deficient in inspiration. It wasn’t working for Tuchel to line up Eric Dier between Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae, mirroring Bayer’s back three. Granit Xhaka, the former North London rival, was controlling play for the hosts, forcing Kane—who has been on fire this season—to go deeper and deeper in order to see the ball.

    Four minutes into the second half, Nathan Tella, a former player for Burnley and Southampton, glided past Alex Grimaldo in a flowing move from back to front. The Spaniard then shot high into the roof of the net past Manuel Neuer.

    Liverpool receives a message from Xabi Alonso as Harry Kane and Bayern Munich are belittled.

    In the 94th minute, Neuer embarrassingly decided to push forward for a corner with the game already over, only for Bayer to counter and former Celtic player Jeremie Frimpong to score from a distance. After failing to stop the ball from crossing the line, a dejected Leroy Sane—who has been excellent this season but subpar here—took to the in-goal camera to vent his fury.

    About the title hopes on his side, Alonso continued, “We’ll discuss in May. We need to maintain our groundedness and be realistic.

    Bayern was utterly outclassed and only mustered one shot on goal the entire evening, a long-range attempt by Noussair Mazraoui in the 26th minute.

    Thomas Muller of Bayern responded, “To be honest, I’m p****d off,” eager to lay the responsibility not at all on former Chelsea manager Tuchel but rather on himself and his teammates. In training, we have far more bravery. We were not brave. It’s necessary to talk about the players occasionally. It goes beyond the coach alone. We must take action.

    Speaking to Sky Germany, Tuchel retorted, “He’s not wrong. We must get better. Thomas properly sets high criteria, and we must meet them.”

    It is Alonso who has raised the bar in Leverkusen. He is now without a doubt the top choice to take Jürgen Klopp’s place on Merseyside, if he wasn’t already.

  • Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has already informed next employers how long he’ll stay in the job

    Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has already informed next employers how long he’ll stay in the job

    Jurgen Klopp’s departure this summer has left Liverpool fans stunned.

    When Jurgen Klopp departs Liverpool in the summer, this will probably be his final position. The German manager startled the football world on Friday by declaring that, despite his club leading the Premier League and having a chance to win three separate cup competitions, this season will be his last at Anfield.

    After eight and a half years on Merseyside, Klopp has thus far denied having another post in mind overseas, citing the need for a vacation from football. In addition, he has pledged not to accept another position in England, saying he could not handle heading a team against Liverpool.

    If the 56-year-old is placed somewhere else, he has already made it clear how long he intends to stay in management. In September 2016, one year after taking over as Liverpool’s manager from Brendan Rodgers, the former Borussia Dortmund manager announced his retirement date.

    He told RedaktionsNetwerk that he would “certainly return” to live there, but he wasn’t sure if he would return as a coach. This was his way of saying that he would end his career in Germany. One day I will say, “Thank you, it was a pleasure.”

    After leading Liverpool to their first Premier League championship in thirty years and the 2018–19 Champions League, Klopp has already solidified his legendary reputation at the club. The team has also won the League Cup, FA Cup, European Super Cup, and World Club Cup during his leadership.

    Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has already informed next employers how long he’ll stay in job

    Supporters showered him with a standing ovation during Sunday’s FA Cup match at home versus Norwich. Despite the wishes of his followers, he has maintained that there is no possibility of his changing his mind before the campaign is over.

    “I’m not going to be sitting on the bench when I’m sixty years old. And it will have been three incredible clubs if, at the conclusion of my career, I was only able to manage Mainz, Dortmund, and Liverpool.”

    It’s noteworthy that Klopp will leave the Reds a few weeks before turning 57. That would only give him three seasons left in the league, and considering his wish to take a break, it seems improbable that he will play for another two years at this point.

    He has been associated with the German national team since his shocking choice, as Julian Nagelsmann is expected to step down following Euro 2024. In light of mounting pressure on Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich has also been mentioned as a potential destination.

    Arsenal will imitate Brighton as Arteta challenges Liverpool for the Argentine sensation

    Arsenal will imitate Brighton as Arteta challenges Liverpool for the Argentine sensation

    Arsenal is rumoured to be interested in recruiting one of Boca Juniors’ most promising young players, hoping to emulate Brighton & Hove Albion.

    After Brighton defeated Manchester City and Chelsea to land 19-year-old Valentin Barco for €9 million, Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing his former teammate Ezequiel Fernandez.

    El Crack Deportivo, an Argentine daily, claims that after watching Barco go for the Premier League, Boca is concerned about losing Fernandez.

    The source claims that Fernandez might cost up to €15 million. Arsenal intends to send scouts to the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in 2024 to watch Fernandez compete for the Argentina U23 team.

    In an effort to strengthen that area of the pitch, Mikel Arteta has been linked to the Gunners’ pursuit of a new central midfielder for a number of months.

    Arsenal is also interested in Joao Palhinha, but Douglas Luiz remains the main target despite worries about Aston Villa’s potential asking price.

    Liverpool was heavily connected to a trade for Fernandez in 2023. Reports state that Benfica, Inter Milan, and Sevilla are also keeping an eye on Fernandez.

    Will Liverpool fight for the acquisition of Fernandez?

    Alexis Mac Allister, the midfielder Liverpool acquired from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer, is a major Fernandez admirer. “If you ask me a little more about my style, there is a player that I really like and that is Equi Fernández,” he said to TyC Sports, as reported by AnfieldWatch. He is a player who, in my opinion, has every opportunity to travel to Europe in the future.

    He is a really good player who has a great understanding of the game. He can play as an inside player or as a five because he can play with both legs and is always ready to receive the ball. He’s a player with some excellent circumstances, and if Brighton asked, I would mention his name.

    In the summer of 2025, Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool contract will expire, so the Reds will soon need to find a replacement for the Egyptian playmaker if they don’t do so already.

    Leroy Sane would be the ideal replacement for him right away. The German international has a stellar record in the Premier League.

    During his time in England, the 27-year-old won seven awards and frequently assisted Pep Guardiola in scoring and setting up goals. Not to mention, he scored four goals in six starts against Liverpool across all competitions.

    The star, who cost £42 million, was in the running to replace Mohamed Salah on deadline day this month, and it’s fair to say that he needs to challenge himself with a new task since the Bundesliga has been far too easy for him at Bayern.

    The former Schalke winger has scored three goals in as many league games for Thomas Tuchel’s Bavarians so far this season.

    What do you think? Should Sane be signed by Liverpool to eventually replace Salah?

    Jurgen Klopp finally has the quality that Kevin De Bruyne offers when the Liverpool midfielder transformed

    Jurgen Klopp finally has the quality that Kevin De Bruyne offers when the Liverpool midfielder transformed
    There is a quality Dominik Szoboszlai has at Liverpool that Jürgen Klopp has not had in midfield so far and which gives him a new dimension.

    Dominik Szoboszlai’s first games for Liverpool have definitely exceeded expectations. Jürgen Klopp was an admirer of the Hungarian, but perhaps he didn’t even expect how quickly Szoboszlai would settle into his team at Liverpool.

    Much has been said about the Hungarian’s energy on the pitch, the way he competes in the many duels and the kind of protection he provides to the Liverpool defence.

    But against Aston Villa we also saw what he can do for Liverpool in the future. His outstanding opening finish will long be remembered by Anfield fans who saw him.

    It was not Szoboszlai’s first shot for Liverpool in the Premier League this season, however. The opener came against Bournemouth, who were saved by Neto and fired by Diogo Jota, who put the ball into the net with vigor.

    Moreover, Szoboszlai also scored a penalty in this match which means he has been involved in at least three goals after four games so far in a Liverpool shirt.

    Various sources claimed that Szoboszlai was used in a more defensive role at Liverpool. Even Marco Rossi suggested the Hungarian should ‘shoot more for Liverpool’ in an exclusive interview with Liverpool.com.

    But the numbers certainly don’t reflect that. According to FBref, Szoboszlai has the most dribbles (seven), the most runs inside the penalty area (six) and the most touches in the final third (81) of any Liverpool player.

    Jurgen Klopp finally has the quality that Kevin De Bruyne offers when the Liverpool midfielder transformed
    Moreover, Szoboszlai already tops Liverpool’s midfield shooting record with eight shots in four games. Second on the list behind him is Harvey Elliott, who has only fired one shot so far. For years, practically since Klopp’s arrival, Liverpool had never had a midfielder shooting on target from midfield and looking to score goals. Meanwhile, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have benefited in the form of Kevin De Bruyne. However, Szoboszlai finally offers a similar ability and can use it to devastating effect.

    Liverpool have already benefited from his long-range strikes twice. But Szoboszlai knows he can do even better. Of his eight shots so far, only the two Liverpool have scored on have found the net.

    “To be honest, I’ve said it before, sometimes we practice in training and I think two weeks ago I had two situations in a row [and] I shoot the ball 50 yards over the goal,” Szoboszlai told Liverpool. the official website. “Today I was even more focused on kicking the ball and scoring. It worked.”

    There is still room for improvement, but the fact that he is encouraged to shoot and take advantage of the opportunities that come his way is an encouraging sign.

    Klopp is clearly trying to transform and revolutionize his midfield at Liverpool. Szoboszlai could be the key man in his attempts to achieve this as the Hungarian’s shots can add another dimension to the way Liverpool play.

    Whether he scores directly or with Jota’s goal, the ball is returned to a Liverpool striker. A player who can get shots on target from long range is a great asset to any team.

    According to Sources: Bayern Munich prepared to go for Fulham star Palhinha as door opens for Liverpool to sign Gravenberch
    Bayern Munich are considering signing Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha as they prepare to offload Liverpool target Ryan Gravenberch, sources have told Football Insider.

    Bayern are keen to sign a new defensive midfielder before the window closes and Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the Portuguese star.

    The German giants would use the funds from the Gravenberch sale project to buy Palhina.

    Football Insider revealed on Friday August 25 that Liverpool could make a further move for Gravenberch, valued at £30million, as the pursuit of Cheick Doucour eases.

    Palhinha has already been linked with a move to West Ham this summer to replace Declan Rice, but the Hammers felt the Fulham star was too expensive. The 28-year-old recovered from a shoulder injury he suffered in pre-season and came on as a substitute in Fulham’s 3-0 defeat at Brentford on Saturday.

    He was a vital figure for the Cottagers last season, making 40 appearances in all competitions as Fulham secured tenth place in the Premier League and a quarter-final in the FA Cup.

    Palhinha proved to be one of the best defensive midfielders in his debut season in England, winning the Premier League in tackles made in 2022/23 with 147-47 over second-placed Moises Caicedo.

    He completed a £20million move to Fulham in the summer of 2022, but the London outfit could get a huge return on their investment just a year later.

    According to report Liverpool in 'advanced talks' for wonderkid midfielder on negotiate deal
    Liverpool close to another midfielder and could get a highly prized gem for a fraction of what it could be worth

    Liverpool are in talks to sign a highly regarded young midfielder to bolster their team’s ranks.

    The Reds are still short on numbers in the center of the park but picked up their first win of the season at the weekend at home to Bournemouth, with new signing Wataru Endo coming off the bench. However, manager Jurgen Klopp would like a few more signings in midfield, with Cody Gakpo having played there lately.

    With just under two weeks before the window closes, Liverpool may be in for a surge of activity after all – and efforts to bring in a certain young star have ramped up.

    The Daily Mail say the Merseysiders are in talks to bring Ryan Gravenberch to Anfield this summer, having had an interest in him for a year – with assistant Pep Lijnders possibly influential in the deal. According to the Telegraph, Lijnders has played a bigger role in recruitment since the departure of sporting director Michael Edwards, with the Dutchman apparently playing a key role in the decision to join Gakpo. Gravenberch is another Dutch star – who could increase the presence of Dutch internationals at Melwood.

    adapts perfectly to the system and can affect the game at all stages.

    Having joined for just £16m last summer, Gravenberch could well be sold in a deal that favors the Reds over some of the more expensive targets they had in their sights. Liverpool could even negotiate a move on loan with a fee agreed at the end, mandatory or optional

    Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is said to be a fan of the young midfielder, but with plenty of competition at the Allianz Arena he has played just three games since joining from Ajax. Gravenberch is valued at 30 million euros by Transfermarkt.

    The Manchester United and Liverpool transfer target has been flagged as one to watch until deadline day

    According to report Liverpool in 'advanced talks' for wonderkid midfielder on negotiate deal
    Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the transfer of Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch amid interest from Manchester United and Liverpool.

    It appears the situation hasn’t changed much in recent days, with Romano reporting that both Man Utd and Liverpool have inquired about the Dutch international.

    Romano expects this to be one to watch until the end of the transfer window, suggesting that could change, although Bayern are currently unenthusiastic about letting Gravenberch go…

    Gravenberch previously looked like a top contender at his old club Ajax but hasn’t played regularly at Bayern so far, so he’d do well to move on.

    The 21-year-old could still boost his career with the right move, and would certainly suit well at Man Utd, where they are a bit short in midfield.

    LFC have also had some trouble in that department lately, although they have signed three players in that part of the pitch: Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo.

    According to Romano ‘incredible’ Liverpool midfield target is joining PL rivals

    Liverpool are likely to still be on the hunt for more midfielders before the transfer window closes.

    The Reds have managed to sign Wataru Endo from Stuttgart.

    The Japan international’s move to Anfield was a relief for Liverpool after a difficult week.

    Not only did Liverpool lose Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to the Saudi Pro League, but two of their top targets moved to Chelsea instead.

    However, there is more disappointing midfield news regarding another top midfielder linked with the Reds. The player in question is Leeds United and United States star Tyler Adams, who was linked with Liverpool 90 minutes ago.

    The 90Min report acknowledged Bournemouth were favorites to sign the American, and they are now close to a deal.

    Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter Friday night to say “here we go” on Adams to the South Coast.

    The “excellent” player would have passed a medical and signed a five-year contract.

    Our point of view

    In this case, Liverpool fans are unlikely to be too disappointed as the speculation seemed rather superficial. However, the Reds have lost an “incredible” player who was perfectly positioned for a big move, as he was relegated to Leeds.

    Chelsea, in fact, tried to sign Adams, before pulling the plug and opting for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.

    That said, Liverpool have done it with the signing of Endo, and they will no doubt make further additions before the start of September.

    'Thomas Tuchel makes sincere Liverpool claim following Bayern Munich victory 'You can only win'
    Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the pre-season today as Bayern Munich cruised to a 4-3 win over the Reds

    Thomas Tuchel admitted Liverpool’s strong performance against Bayern Munich came as no surprise despite the wet conditions the match took place in.

    Liverpool and Bayern faced off in Singapore yesterday, with the latter winning 4-3 despite starting the game two goals behind. The Bundesliga giants responded to that early setback with goals from Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane before bringing Alisson through twice more late in the game.

    The Reds are unbeaten in pre-season so far and will wonder how they ended up on the losing side after such a convincing start in this friendly. You have to give Bayern credit for showing the fighting spirit to stay competitive in a game where little else but pride mattered. Indeed, Tuchel was delighted with the reaction of his players in a game which he acknowledged would always be a true test of his side’s progress in pre-season.

    “It’s a very good end to ten tiring days [in Asia], it was very demanding. They took a big step forward today: the performance was good, the result was very good and it was a deserved result against one of them.” “I’m very happy that our players are showing such performance and an exclamation mark at the end of this tour,” he said after the final whistle.

    The former Chelsea manager went on to explain why facing Liverpool is always a difficult task: “It was a real away game and we expected it.” There are many Liverpool fans in Singapore and Malaysia. The intensity didn’t surprise me. Maybe it was a little more difficult for us because they started earlier [pre-season] and they will start the season earlier. It was important not to be too shy and to stand up and accept the fight. When you play against Liverpool it’s always an intense game. You can’t expect anything else.

    This match showed that we are on the right track. You can only win against Liverpool if you play as a team and go through tough times. “The way the game went was more difficult than it already was because we were down 2-0 and it’s always very physical against Liverpool, so we got up and fought and never abandoned our discipline and fighting spirit.”

    The 16-year-old England youth international was signed by the Merseyside giants ahead of competing teams, according to the Secret Scout, who rate Nyoni as “one of the best” players in the nation.

    Harvey Owen, a 14-year-old Wolves player, is the only significant addition to the Reds’ youth ranks this window despite Liverpool’s limited academy additions this summer.

    Nyoni, a Leicester teenager who impressed with the Foxes last season in the U-18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup, could nevertheless be a significant acquisition for Liverpool.

    And now the midfielder will move to Liverpool this summer, where Nyoni will be an exciting new addition to the team’s academy and a potential future senior player for Jurgen Klopp.

    Trey Nyoni can achieve his full potential with Liverpool’s assistance.

    Liverpool’s academy is no stranger to snagging the best and brightest players in England, and Nyoni’s signing is just one more illustration of the hard work the Reds put in behind the scenes to keep their youth ranks full.

    The Merseyside giants, who have one of the best academy systems in the country and have recently produced fantastic players, could help the young midfielder realize his exciting potential.

    Nyoni may not succeed Steven Gerrard, but he or she will soon be able to follow in the footsteps of Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold and make the leap from the Liverpool academy to the senior squad, which is the goal of many young players.

    What Chelsea supporters yearned to see last season has already been accomplished by Mauricio Pochettino.When his Chelsea team was attacking Wrexham, the referee decided to call time and blow the halftime whistle, which infuriated Mauricio Pochettino.

    a 5-0 triumph in Wrexham over recently promoted League Two rivals. There doesn’t seem to be much to be thrilled about. Otherwise, does it?

    However, given the surrounding circumstances, Chelsea supporters can be excused if they exaggerate the win and performance. The Blues’ performance on the field over the past 12 months has been nothing short of a disaster. There won’t be any European football to look forward to in the coming months due to the Premier League’s 12th-place finish last season.

    There have been four different managers, including two who are permanent. Only a select few of the players who were brought to the club for more than £600 million have so far proven to be capable. But at Stamford Bridge, this marked the start of a new era. Hopefully the last “new era” I have to write about for a while.

    While much tougher competition will come later in his tenure, Mauricio Pochettino’s match against Wrexham was the ideal start for the Argentine. For Pochettino and his young team, it was the ideal preseason opener with five goals, 20 players used, and a clean sheet.

    And a particular incident near the end of the first half may have provided the most definitive proof yet of Pochettino’s appeal to Chelsea supporters. While Chelsea had the ball and were attacking the Wrexham defense, the referee blew for halftime. The game appeared to be headed in the right direction, but the referee still decided to call a timeout, infuriating Pochettino.

    What Chelsea supporters yearned to see last season has already been accomplished by Mauricio Pochettino.The Argentinean marched over to the referee to argue with him. On the surface, it may not seem like a big deal, but it demonstrates to Chelsea supporters the kind of character they now have in their dugout.

    Numerous Chelsea fans claimed that former head coach Graham Potter lacked the drive necessary to succeed at Stamford Bridge. The 48-year-old Potter was ultimately let go for the lack of progress he made during his nearly seven-month stint at the club, but the 48-year-old never really won over the supporter base.

    With his predecessor Thomas Tuchel, it was the complete opposite. Even after being relieved of his duties back in September, the German was a very well-liked figure among the club’s supporters. On the touchline, Tuchel’s enthusiasm was palpable. You could also relate to his suffering and agony whenever things did not go according to plan. He nearly joined the ranks of Chelsea supporters.

    With Pochettino, it appears that is what we will get. Someone to fight your battles on your behalf. Take Jose Mourinho as an example. He is both one of the most likable and successful managers to have ever led the team.

    However, passion isn’t everything because if it were, every ardent Chelsea fan would be employed in professional football. There is much more to it than that, and Pochettino has shown throughout his managerial career that he possesses the tactical prowess and people-management abilities necessary to be a top-tier coach.

    There were some instances of what we could now categorically label as “Poch Ball” during the entire 90 minutes we witnessed against Wrexham. There is little passing and player movement coordination. enough energy. Interesting to see.

    But Pochettino yelling at the referee stood out to me the most. Brilliant. What Chelsea actually require.

    Additionally, let’s put this in some context by noting that Pochettino’s irate outburst occurred during a preseason friendly. against a League Two team. In the Premier League against Liverpool the following month, God help the referee if something similar occurs.

  • An ‘impressive’ £100 million player is currently being negotiated by Chelsea, and Tuchel also wants to purchase him.

    An 'impressive' £100 million player is currently being negotiated by Chelsea, and Tuchel also wants to purchase him.
    Chelsea are currently in talks to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt, a player Thomas Tuchel wants at Bayern Munich.

    L’Equipe reports it.
    So what about Chelsea and Randal Kolo Muani? We see…

    What’s the story?
    Well, the French news has mainly focused on Elye Wahi: Chelsea are said to be in talks for a deal to sign Montpellier’s number 21 as well. However, it has been said – within the story – that Chelsea are also in talks to sign Muani.

    The French international enjoyed a special 2022/23 season after moving from Nantes to Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.

    Muani scored one goal and provided one assist in three World Cup appearances as France reached the final in Qatar.

    Remarkably, the 24-year-old also scored 23 goals and provided 17 assists in 46 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt, for a phenomenal total of 40 goals in almost the same number of games.

    An 'impressive' £100 million player is currently being negotiated by Chelsea, and Tuchel also wants to purchase him.
    Muani’s extraordinary efforts caught the attention of German legend Lothar Matthäus, who hinted at the Frenchman becoming a future great.

    The 62-year-old is quoted by Jeunes Footeux: “Kolo Muani is a great asset to the Bundesliga. He is impressive in his gestures, full of composure when looking at opponents’ goal and often has the last word in duels.

    “What impresses him the most is that he shines in every game. It’s the sign of future greats.”

    Chelsea must do everything for Kolo Muani

    In our view, Chelsea should suspend talks to sign Wahi and focus fully on Muani.

    The Bondy-born striker is a real handful for any opponent he faces, and he always seems to be involved in the game, no matter how dominant the opponent is, as Matthews said.

    Combining superb aerial skills with clever movement and quick feet, Muani also has the pace to instill fear in defenders – he appears to be a truly complete striker, as his incredible numbers prove.

    Eintracht Frankfurt are said to want £100million for their No.9 this summer, with Bayern Munich in hiding – according to the Independent – and while that’s a lot to pay for Chelsea, the Blues are expected to pushing for it given his world-class skills. to engage him in the attack.

    Chelsea is getting closer to Mauricio Pochettino’s goal with two confirmed transfers and a £38 million decision.

    Chelsea is getting closer to Mauricio Pochettino's goal with two confirmed transfers and a £38 million decision.
    Chelsea transfer news: With Christian Pulisic set to leave, two more deals have been confirmed, allowing Mauricio Pochettino to capitalize on a strong market position.

    Todd Boehly is assisting Chelsea with their squad purge this summer, and the most recent transactions reveal a noticeable shift in strategy.

    Unlike previous iterations of Chelsea, which failed to sell their underperforming stars, the current administration has been proactive in their sales process, which has resulted in declining value, long-term wage commitments, and a bloated squad build-up.

    The playing group that Mauricio Pochettino had at his disposal had to be eliminated, but the speed with which the new recruitment directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, have completed this window’s work is largely unprecedented.

    In the first three weeks, eight members of the team from last year have been fired or sold, with Jorginho getting ahead of the pack in January. Even more amazing is the fact that some of the players who are most likely to leave have not yet been shipped out.

    Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi will leave soon. Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will unquestionably play their football outside of Stamford Bridge next season.

    Chelsea is getting closer to Mauricio Pochettino's goal with two confirmed transfers and a £38 million decision.
    It will be difficult to recoup significant fees for this group of players, especially since those who have already left have either been acquired by rival teams for sizable sums of money or targeted by the new Saudi Pro League emerging market. The market and marketability for Ziyech, Lukaku, and Co. are less clear.

    However, Christian Pulisic firmly belongs in the first group.
    Now that he has agreed to a £18 million transfer to AC Milan, he will follow Ruben Loftus-Cheek to the San Siro this summer. Additionally, Pulisic is the most recent player to travel to Italy on a growing list of athletes.

    Pulisic, who has a five-year contract at SW6 but will end it in order to complete a move that is anticipated to cost around £20 million, is seeking a new challenge after Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud. Chelsea may be eager to not only profit from but also take advantage of a positive relationship between the sides as they prepare for life without Pulisic.

    It’s difficult to ignore the continued interest in Mike Maignan as teams search for a new goalkeeper this summer. football.London is aware of this admiration for the France goalkeeper, but a transfer is unlikely.

    Although Maignan is one of the best players in the world at his position, he also commands a salary commensurate with his talent and is not expected to be wearing the gloves at Stamford Bridge next year. As the seasons progress and concerns about Kepa Arrizabalaga’s long-term future with the team persist, a budding partnership with Milan could assist in making a deal feasible.

    Rafael Leao is another outstanding prospect that exists elsewhere. Even though Chelsea has been seriously interested in him for the past 18 months, he only recently signed a new contract at San Siro earlier this year. The recent boardroom shuffle has made an immediate exit from his position unlikely despite his enormous release clause.

    The open lines of communication that have benefited the 2021 Italian Champions are something that the owners will once again be keen to take advantage of. Milan are more likely to be vigilant when it comes to selling their own players than signings Chelsea’s.

    Chelsea are presently in negotiations to sign a "special" player who disobeyed Thomas Tuchel's instructions.
    Chelsea have started talks with Southampton over a possible deal to sign Tino Livramento from them.

    Tino Livramento, who spent most of his childhood in Chelsea’s academy, made his breakthrough into the first team when the Blues sold him to Southampton in 2021.

    Interestingly, former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel once explained that he only intended to leave England’s right-back on loan.

    Tuchel said (Chelsea YouTube channel): “For example, for Tino Livramento, we had a plan and we would have preferred a loan, but he saw his future [differently and decided] to leave.”

    However, Livramento went against Tuchel’s wishes to leave Stamford Bridge permanently. The Daily Mail claims Chelsea have now held talks with Southampton over Livramento.

    Mauricio Pochettino’s side are reportedly interested in signing the 20-year-old right-back with the idea of ​​him returning to St Mary’s on loan next season.

    The report adds that the Saints value their exciting full-back at around £38m. Incidentally, they have already turned down offers from Newcastle United worth £12m and £21m for him this summer.

    Described by former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl (BT Sport) as a “very special” player, Livramento is extremely talented.

    He is an attacking full-back who made quite an impression in the Premier League early in his Southampton career, leaving Chelsea fans very frustrated at being sold in the first place.

    Unfortunately, a long-term injury halted his progress and meant he missed the entire 2022/23 season.

    His Saints side were relegated to the Championship last year but he has returned to action in recent games.

    We struggle to see Chelsea need another right-back as they already own Reece James and Malo Gusto. However, do we see a future for James in midfield?

    More news…….

    Chelsea wants to replace Mount with a player, who PSG is close to signing for £34 million.

    Chelsea are presently in negotiations to sign a "special" player who disobeyed Thomas Tuchel's instructions.
    Gabri Veiga, a player Chelsea wants to acquire to replace Mason Mount, is currently close to being acquired by PSG from Celta Vigo.

    According to Santi Aouna from Foot Mercato .

    Let’s look at the most recent information regarding Gabri Veiga, who Chelsea is interested in.

    What is the narrative?

    Chelsea wanted the Celta Vigo No., according to the Evening Standard. 24 to replace the England international, who is currently close to signing a £60 million contract with Manchester United.

    However, it seems as if Mauricio Pochettino will have to look elsewhere.

    In recent hours, according to Aouna, PSG and Veiga’s negotiations appear to have advanced. PSG is eager to complete the transfer as soon as possible, however, for fear that a rival team will enter the talks and sabotage them.

    It is also said that the French giants hope to see the Spain Under-21 international pass a medical before the end of the week.

    Therefore, if Chelsea really are keen to sign Veiga – who the Guardian believe has a £34.4m release clause in his contract – the Blues will have to move fast.

    The 21-year-old put his name up in lights after scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in 36 La Liga appearances last season.

    PSG proving to be a nuisance for Pochettino as Chelsea prepare to miss out on Veiga.

    Chelsea are presently in negotiations to sign a "special" player who disobeyed Thomas Tuchel's instructions.
    This is not the first time that PSG have interfered with Chelsea’s transfer plans this summer.

    The Parisians also beat Chelsea to the signing of Manuel Ugarte from Sporting CP at the start of the transfer window.

    PSG – according to Gazzetta dello Sport – have also made a bid for Napoli No. 9 Victor Osimhen, another player Pochettino wants at Stamford Bridge.

    Clearly, the Argentine’s old side – who he used to play for and also used to manage – are proving to be a thorn in Chelsea’s side this summer.

    Be sure to keep an eye on the situation, as Chelsea could look to hijack PSG’s deal for Veiga this week.
