logically there would be no reason for Xabi to leave Leverkusen when he had managed to gain such prestigious experience, whereas in the history of the past few decades there had been no Bundesliga team that was able to break Bayern Munich dominance and this season was a very valuable history of experience, creating a strong impetus for Xabi wants to repeat this history in the next season to take Leverkusen to a higher level.
so it's useless if we hope that Xabi will move to another team, while experience is more important for Xabi.

I think current financial issues are no longer critical to Luka Modric. We have seen him turn down Saudi offers to stay and play for Real Madrid. He has devoted the past 12 years to the team. Even though he has turned 39, midfielder No. 10 still feels he can continue to play at the top for a few more years. However, Real Madrid does not think so.
Until today, rumors that Modric will leave Real are just speculation and nothing concrete. It is still being determined where the future of this once world-leading midfielder will be. This season, Modric often does not appear in Real Madrid's main squad. Modric has to fight to get a starting spot, and so far, that has made him unhappy. Real Madrid is having a difficult time with Modric's situation. Modric may no longer be Real's most important factor. The team's stance is still unequivocal: no individual can be bigger than the club. I think they want to save some dignity for him and want him to leave on his own because they don't want to sign a contract with him anymore. Luka Modric should feel this.

Victor Osimhen is a "hot commodity" in the transfer market after winning the Serie A championship with Napoli last season. It seems that Napoli is ready to sell the 25-year-old star because they know that it will be challenging to keep Osimhen. If they sell now, they will receive a large amount of transfer money, or will be left empty-handed if his contract expires. Personally, I think Victor Osimhen should go to Arsenal or PSG. These are two clubs that can bring him valuable titles. But with the contract between Napoli and Osimhen having a reasonably high release clause, I don't know if Arsenal or PSG will agree to be willing to spend a large amount of money to bring him back to the club. Victor Osimhen is a scoring machine that leads the attack, which is very suitable for them.

Chelsea is said to be willing to spend the above amount of money in exchange for the services of the 25-year-old striker. But Victor Osimhen should consider it because Chelsea is in quite a fluctuating form. I don't think this is the perfect destination for him.

Many attackers have performed even worse since joining Chelsea and this can't be denied since jackson, nkuku are still underperform. I don't think it will happen to Osimhen caused by he is now also flop in napoli. it would like to call chelsea's management is so stupid if the club will try to force itself to buy osimhen. I only want to remind you not to have unrealistic expectations before seeing reality caused by we have seen that many times if chelsea was making unsuccessful transfers. Many people had high expectations of Chelsea after the club signed so many $100 million players, but they were all flops.

It's no surprise that Chelsea's performance is deteriorating because so many players are underperforming at the moment. We've seen how Jackson and even Nkuku performed so poorly in Chelsea. This could be part of the environmental impact on the players.
When you put a good player in the bad club, that good player will also become a flop. It's not surprising to me that Leverkusen performed so poorly in this match. There is no guarantee that gambling with Osimhen will provide Chelsea with a striker who can fit into the club's game plan.
It should be noted that while Osimhen worked hard in Napoli, I cannot deny that the EPL has become his dream league to play in. Linking him to Chelsea still makes sense, especially since Osimhen is still interested in joining the EPL.

It's actually true that victor osimhen will be a major plus to this Chelsea side and any other team in the world,  because the level of victor osimhen is way much higher than their current attackers, and those chances that Nicolas Jackson can't take in the Chelsea team, osemhen will definitely take them, which will put him in contention among the top scorers of this year golden boot race.

But I don't think it's an ideal career move, because I sees this current Chelsea as a sinking ship, so if I would be advicing him, I will tell him to either go to Paris saint Germain or he stay put in Napoli where he is being adored by the napolian fans.

Victor Osimhen have proven that he can survive in a any of the top five leagues in Europe with how impressive he's performed for his current club Napoli since he signed for them so even if he doesn't end up signing for Chelsea in the summer, I think he'll still do well for any other team he chooses to commit gis future with. Victor Osimhen without doubt have been a Chelsea supporter right from his childhood days back in his home country Nigeria and would definitely want to represent the badge he wore on several occasions growing up as a child. But my concern is that the same player will certain want to play for a club that are participating in the UEFA Champions League competition which Chelsea will not be able to give him at least for next season because their current position in the league wouldn't give them any European competition chance for next season. So I'm wondering if he'll want to join Chelsea even when he knows that he will not be participating in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

Chelsea will become one of the best team that will suits in for Victor Osimhen who's an outstanding striker and also a hustler for goals. Perhapes Obi Mikel have few discussions with him and it's getting clearer about his competent actions of moving to an EPL side. Victor Osimhen is the only Nigerian that's having one of the best moments in his team and he's also the most valuable player for Napoli. The club's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis will always takes crucial decisions to also generates profits for the team's board.

Age is always an important factor for any athlete, but as professionals, they need to have concern about financial security. Modric has family to consider when he has to make a big decision. The Saudi League could be a profitable option to increase his net worth before retirement. as a great player who has played for top clubs and is successful, he has great opportunity to move to a less competitive league without diminishing his reputation as a skilled midfielder.

Financial reasons are important, but Modric may still value playing at a competitive level. Maybe he still has desire to stay at a great club and win more trophies, if Real Madrid have plans to keep him in the team. Ancelotti said that the decision was in Modric's hands, as he is a great player who can make wise decisions for himself and football without demanding much from Madrid. He should weigh his options and choose what best suits his goals, both financial and competitive.

Almost all the news concerning Victor Osimhen's future are all mere rumours and have official statement from any of the rumoured clubs to confirm that they're really interested in signing the Nigeria international. Victor Osimhen is one player that's significantly improved his performance in the last few games but he's not been able to replicate his incredible performance of last season in the current season but that doesn't take anything away from him as a top striker that can easily win games for any team he's playing for.
The rumor about Chelsea and Arsenal being interested in signing Victor Osimhen are yet to be confirmed by the two clubs but should the two clubs comes calling for the Napoli striker, I think he'll likely choose Chelsea because he's made it public before that Chelsea is his childhood club growing up as a kid in Nigeria. However, choosing Chelsea that'll not be playing in the UEFA Champions League competition next season might also make Victor Osimhen to consider moving to Arsenal. I'll be very happy to see him join an English Premier League club next season so he can further prove himself to the whole world of his capabilities

If Zidane becomes Klopp successor at Liverpool then that would be extraordinary, and Zidane is likely to be able to match the trophy achievements that Klopp presented during his time as manager at Anfield. But I think this is difficult to happen, and we have often heard Zidane being linked with European elite clubs, but the fact is that up to now he has not coached any club.

Regarding Xabi, he has officially stayed at Leverkusen next season, Xabi contract will only end in June 2026. There is nothing wrong with Xabi choosing to stay, he knows better where to place himself even though there are many fans. Clubs like Bayern or Liverpool certainly have to look for other names, and I think many big coaches are unemployed at the moment.

It looks like many of Europe top teams will change coaches next season, the obvious ones being Liverpool, Bayern and Barcelona. Milan, Juventus, Man United and Chelsea are also rumored to be changing coaches too, so the competition to find a good manager next season will be even more difficult. Meanwhile, clubs that want Xabi services will have to wait at least one more season.

Xabi Alonso proved that he is a wise person other than his knowledge as a coach because I think leaving Leverkusen could be a wise move for him. Xabi Alonso is still young and he needs much more experience as a coach also he is still under contract with Leverkusen which can make it harder for him to leave the team and join any other team. Also, there is no guarantee that Xabi Alonso can have the same good performance in any other team after Leverkusen and maybe if he leaves Leverkusen and joins another team he fail and this is not good for him.
He needs to stay in there for a longer time and even achieve more titles with his team before leaving.

I think Osimhen making a move to Arsenal would be more beneficial to the player and to the club. Arsenal presently has a capable coach that could take the club to great heights. And with him in an Arsenal shirt, I bet he would be able to win some individual awards as well as some club trophies.

Chelsea has some quality players presently in its squad but they’re still inconsistent in their performances. I think if Osimhen makes the move to Chelsea, his abilities may not be noticed that much. He would likely be like Man United’s goalie Onana. Had a great run with his former club and not so great a performance with his present club.

Although Xabi Alonso has stated that he will indeed stay to train Bayern Leverkusen, but it is possible at any time to change his mind and want to try to compete in the English premier league, it's just that maybe Liverpool management doesn't know how to make Xabi Alonso interested in competing in the EPL and doesn't know how to convince Xabi.
Maybe if not Xabi to replace Klopp there is Tuchel who may become unemployed if Negelsman returns to Bayern Munich, it could be a viable option maybe if there are no more coaches who have great experience.

Just because the arrival of Guardiola makes Klopp quite exhausted to compete I am not sure of that, considering that Arteta also in the previous season was great, but indeed being able to get a one-time champion is a good projection with Liverpool.

Luka Modric is a good player and he has made so much effort within his time at Real Madrid but unfortunately age is really coming down on the side of the central midfielder of Real Madrid and moving to a club that can increase his net worth will be a nice idea and for now he can choose the Saudi league so that he can gain more money to himself and his family before his retirement from football. The Croatian International professional footballer is a well known tactical midfielder in the Madrid squad so he has played for one of the best teams in Europe so even if he chooses to go to a non competitive league to continue his football career, it is not a bad idea.

Currently, nothing is clear about Osimhen as he is coming here in Premier League or no because as things are going most chances we will be having Osimhen in French Ligue 1 where PSG is waiting for him after exit of the Kylian Mbappé but still in case if he loves to join Premier League then most chances he will go ahead with arsenal because they are much better and stable team with having their spot in Champions League is also giving them good advantage for singing him.
But in soccer we have nothing predictable as we can expect any change at any time so for the better update about this all we have to wait for the end of this season because after few years we are going to have some good transfers in this window too many coaches and players are going to have changed their destinations.

Correct. We shouldn't debate it anymore because everything is clear. Xabi won't move to any team because he prefers to stay with Leverkusen. So, there is no way that Xabi Alonso to move to Liverpool or Bayern Munich. This rumor has been over because Xabi Alonso has answered people's question about his future. It is official that he stated to extend his contract for one year in Leverkusen at least.

Yes, it will be difficult to get the replacement of Klopp. But Liverpool can't expect to hire Xabi Alonso for the next season. I don't know which manager to be hired by Liverpool. I think they may consider Zidane or other top managers.  

This season is entirely different for Bayer Leverkussen and Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso have made his decision and he's not going anywhere near accepting offers from EPL sides and other teams. He's more focused on achieving the basic goals that brought him over. Remind you, Bayer Leverkusen have been unbeaten since the start of the season and they're looking forward to complete this current season without streak unbeaten race.

Motta contract will be ended this summer and until now there was no agreement about contract extension with Bologna so after seeing this news some people has starting to speculate his future because if after end of this season Motta hasn't signing new contract then he probably will leave as free transfer status and this season Bologna was very impressive under him because this team is still occupy 4th place on league table of Serie A and if Bologna can able to managed their consistency until this season ended then Motta will made a history because he can able to bringing Bologna to playing at Champion league for the first time

And obviously some of big clubs will be notice to his performance with Bologna and they were starting to considering to hire him and indeed Motta might be good as the replacement of Klopp in Liverpool but i don't think Liverpool will be easy to hire him because other clubs such as Juventus, Bayern Munich and Barcelona also showing their interest to him so it's very interesting to see if Motta really leave Bologna this season then which clubs would be his next destination

Anyway this is all just theory for now and since the departure is ambiguous, I think it's better to focus on who they can buy apart from Mbappe who should finally come into this team. I think that with Mbappe coming in the team will probably be rebuilt just for him, at least that looks realistic

Chelsea and Arsenal are two teams that have very good goal scoring creating abilities this season, with the addition of a striker like Victor Osimhen to either of the two clubs, he will score lots of goals, and his first season will quickly be in comparison with Haaland first season in the league.

If he moves to Arsenal, he can quickly become a first team choice under Arteta's expertise. Arteta has a good record of bringing the best out of players, looks at Havertz for example. If Osimhen moves to Chelsea, they need to sack Poch because I personally think he is incompetent to handle this rich Chelsea team that has talented players who can deliver with a good coach. His game changes and tactics most times are off.
