Antonio Conte would either move to Ac Milan or Juventus, since he wouldn't be appointed by Bayern Munich after saying they're his appeal club to manage. For Juventus, they've also had negotiated with Thiago Motta over a contract with Juventus, it does seem like they want to part ways with Allegri Max.

He is worth that figure, I've watched him play, good with the ball, calm, leadership skills are great and would do a great combination with a defender like Lisandro Martinez. Lisandro Martinez is the pillar of Manchester United defense and since he got Injured Erik Ten Hag tactics has failed sikce he builds best from the back and it has to be done majorly by Lisandro Martinez.

For Manchester United, I'd want to see Harry Maguire leave to be fucking honest because he lacks pace in this modern day football. Jonny Evans also should be amongst the names leaving because he has been only on loan.

According to the news that I have heard, if I'm not mistaken, Xabi Alonso still wants to be with Leverkusen for the next few seasons and bring good changes to the club until he truly deserves to be called an extraordinary coach. Indeed, he was on the rise when he started coaching Leverkusen because he was able to maintain his performance Leverkusen continues to appear consistent, this is certainly not easy for a coach, but he amazed everyone and other clubs were also amazed by this coach, but his contract at Leverkusen still runs until 2026, so if Bayern Munich or Liverpool are interested in appointing him as their new coach, they must make an agreement with Leverkusen club management because after all Leverkusen still has the rights to the coach.

Age is not a problem for a coach if they are able to provide good strategies and are able to improve the club's performance because the most important thing is cooperation between players and coaches, if both are united then they can achieve success together but if there is no comfort and lack of chemistry then the club will not is developing well and in fact Xabi Alonso has established good chemistry with the players so they are able to work together in creating strategies and continue to perform optimally in every match whatever they face and I am quite sure that Leverkusen will win 2 titles this season if their performance does not decline.

What's your basis tho? Because he said so in the media? He can't really tell whether he will move or not this soon can he? We don't know what's inside his mind either. He has that faithful side to him, but he's known for being a Liverpool fan for so long even after he moved to another club for example. At the end of the day, what he said on media is just for public relations. He won't say anything controversial or be truthful with his current contract/possible future to avoid destroying his relationship with his current club, their fans, and possibly his future employer. Just take a look at Tuchel's last interview and how it impacts his relationship with Barca fans and the public in general.

Currently, Xabi Alonso doesn't want to think about this because he is focused on winning football with Leverkusen.

Realistically, when Xabi Alonso succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to win the trophy this season, he will become the coach most sought after by Europe's top teams. All his offers will certainly be quite difficult to refuse and also a coach who wants a new adventure to support his career.

Currently, there is a lot of speculation about Xabi Alonso because he has made many surprises this season with Leverkusen, which is quite natural for the media crew.
And I'm pretty sure, if Leverkusen wins the Bundesliga then he will move to another team.

Enrique knew him as as a singer but not football player. That's a hilarious statement from enrique but i think he was only joking about that.

It is a signal if PSG had no interest to recruit him.

The latest report has said that too.

Totally wrong, did you remember when leao said that if he putted la liga or EPL as his priority to be his next destination? That's it.

In my opinion, Pogba took the wrong step because in the midst of his waning career he actually added to the problem by carrying out prohibited activities so this will only make him no longer called a famous player. So for 4 years I thought everything was over and saw the sanctions as a step towards retiring sooner. His productivity has also decreased and there is nothing more we can expect from him. Pogba is one of those players who cannot control his own world. Instead of trying to play it safe, at his no longer young age, he ended his career in the wrong way.

No sign about him will extend his contract in leverkusen but what you have written above totally makes sense. In addition, xabi alonso has verbal agreement with leverkusen. The club will let him go out from leverkusen as long as the club will get a lucrative offer from an other club that demands him.
Since xabi has no release clause and the fees to sign xabi from levrkusen will be discussed directly between leverkusen and potential suitor. It may cost a lot of money for a potential suitor to sign him as a new coach.

Xabi is still young, but he has shown how capable he was as an experienced coach. Leverkusen will not want xabi to leave from there but since it has verbal agreement and this totally depends on xabi's decision to determine his fate.

Currently, there were several potential suitors that will be approaching him soon. Xabi's performance in leverkusen has impressed a lot of clubs. I think this will still continue till the end of season. Kindly wait which club that will seriously approach him to be a new coach.
I think that if it's bayern munich.

The case of Xavi Alonso is not as easy as we see it. It demands critical decision by both Xavi Alonso and the management of Bayern Leverkusen. See what I mean I essence;

• Bayern Leverkusen will not want to leave Alonso easily if he wins either of the Bundesliga title or the Europa League for them.
• Xavi Alonso might be tempted to commit one year or more to Leverkusen if he qualifies for champions league
• No matter how good Alonso is, he will not immediately hit the ground running if he takes over from Klopp. He must face inertial

So, it might actually be a big decision for Xavi Alonso to make, not only Alonso but also Leverkusen management. But then this is a great opportunity for Alonso to be rated among the world best coaches if he will agree to make a move.

Will Xabi really change teams? I'm one of the people who's betting on him staying at Bayer Leverkusen.

You see... him for now. And if the subject is "media presence", well... you don't need more than you already have for the excellent work you've been doing.

I believe that at this moment what Xabi wants most is to win the three titles with Leverkusen, without rushing for changes... Xabi has always been a faithful player, and as a coach he will be too.

Bayern Munich without doubt is much bigger club than Bayer Leverkusen and managing a team that's as big as the German champions I think will be a few steps higher for current Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso and that's why I also think it'll be very difficult for him to reject the deal to sign for them should the German champions take their transfer offer for Xabi Alonso serious. As a manager, it's more easier to permanently secure his signature if he accepts to leave Bayer Leverkusen even when his current club is reluctant to let go of their manager than the possibility of signing high profile players from a club that doesn't want to sell their player. Xabi Alonso have already proven that he can succeed in any top club with his performances so far with Bayer Leverkusen but I think with the relationship that Xabi Alonso have established between himself and the fans/management of Bayer Leverkusen, it'll be difficult for him to sign for another club that's a bigger rivalry than Leverkusen which is why I think he's more likely to sign for Liverpool instead Bayern Munich should he find himself in a situation that he must choose from any of the two European heavyweights.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be leaving the club at the end of the current season and it's been reported that Xabi Alonso is one of the players that's been lined up to replace him. Now that a lot of European clubs including Bayern Munich is trying to get the services of Xabi Alonso, I think it'll be a great idea for Liverpool management to act very fast now and go for their former player so he can continue the good works of Jurgen Klopp at the club.

Manchester United this season have conceded 36 goals in Premier League and this is poor statistics and these records which make Manchester United have failed to compete with Arsenal, Liverpool and even Manchester City for race title so obviously they really required new defender players to strengthen their squad and indeed Manchester United has several players on that position but so far only Lisandro Martínez who can able to playing consistent to guarded Manchester United defensive lines but unfortunately this player is injured prone which make Manchester United cannot always be rely on him for each matches

Besides Lisandro Martínez Manchester United has Maguire or Varane but Maguire performance is really not consistent and it's very risky to rely on Maguire and for Varane his contract will be expired on June this year and he will leave Manchester United with free transfer status after this season ended so after considering these factor i think obviously Manchester United is really required new players for centre defender and for Bremer rumour recently Juventus have already to determine his price tag and Juventus want at least 70 millions and actually Manchester United is rich club i am sure they can buy with that price but some people were doubt Bremer can be good transfer for Manchester United because if this transfer really happened they fear Bremer will be failed to adapt with Premier League atmosphere

It's common that transfer fee for manager is low compared to transfer fee for players, because a manager has potential to be sacked that makes the club being in disadvantage position. Xabi Alonso has the decision ultimately lies with him by considering factors such as the potential for growth, competitiveness, and personal preferences. Liverpool, with its rich history and ambitious goals, could provide an exciting challenge for Xabi.

He has stated that he is a fan of the club with experience as a player that makes him having emotional connection and familiarity that makes him easier to adapt in the club. This is his opportunity to contribute to the club's ongoing success and perhaps play a role in dethroning a dominant force adds an extra layer of allure. On the other hand, joining Bayern Munich might offer a more immediate path to titles, given their consistent success in the Bundesliga, but the prospect of continuous triumphs might lack the thrill of overcoming obstacles and facing new challenges.

Man United has 6 central defenders. If they look for a new one, there should be 1-2 current central defenders to leave Man United. I don't hear a rumor if there are central defenders of Man United to leave the squad in the next transfer window. Sure, Man United needs to rebuild their defense, it looks quite weak during this season. Man United already scored 36 goals in EPL, but they also got conceded 36 goals. There is something wrong with Man United defense.

Dude, I don't think Bremer price will be around €50m - €60m. His current market value is €50m, I guess Juventus must expect more than €70m. He is still 26 years old and he is the main defender of Juventus. Juventus must only accept the offer if it is quite interesting, so Man United must be ready to spend a lot of money.

However, I still believe that Bremer will prefer to stay in Juventus. Moreover if Juventus sign a good coach for the next season. There is a rumor that Conte will return to Juventus. If it is true, I'm not sure if Bremer will leave Juventus to Man United.

Pogba has just said that he is going to appeal, there are more to what is reported by Fifa but guess what. Just cheked Fabrizio page On X regarding Pogba doping and I can't find any tweets again, could it be that he deleted it or there are things that we are not seeing. I think this issue is clearly more than what we think because in the other tweets Fabrizio posted about Pogba, he clearly says they area about to ruin his career and he has never done any substance to boost his body in any form.

That dude shouldn't have left Manchester United in the first place but what do I know, if he is not happy with Erik then I don't think he owes anyone as a free agent but the fact that this was done and quick could also be a set up but since he said he is going to appeal, let's see what the future hold for him if he is going to win.

Edit: I have seen his reply. Here is the link: https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1763202620158574813?s=46&t=qJXYidUv-9dGH9cW3Joe_A

Sometimes I wonder why players that are referred to as professionals acts awkwardly in some cases, like are we going to say he doesn't know the implications of doping? Of course they're aware of the consequences but yet they seem so adamant about it. Imagine being banned from football activities for good 4 years, isn't that the end of his career? I do wonder if some players actually feel like they're too big for them to commit offense regardless of the repercussions. It's really a sad news for the France international maybe rather than being idle he can go join a basketball team and start playing basketball because I don't think he would still be in a good fit when he returns after four years.

Xabi Alonsi to Liverpool would literally set the premier league as well as other leagues this great team will play in, on fire. He would make Pep and Ten and Arteta go back to the board just to think of new tactics to use in winning Liverpool. It really makes sense because to keep up the performance and current moral of the team, no better person to thank than the manager, Klopp.

Too bad he has his mind set on leaving, but only a great coach like Klopp can maintain the team and possibly do better. Otherwise, we might see a decline in the squad performance, which means other teams still has better chances of toppling the giant that Liverpool has turned out to be.

This is no doubt, a major blow to his career. This would have a telling effect on his future in football: that is if there’s going to be any when his match ban is lifted.
I saw this news while going through Twitter earlier and I thought this would be really damaging. Saw an old video of when he was at Man United and got random roping tests just after getting off the field from a game. I had thought that perhaps, he was suspected then.

After four years, I don’t know if he would make a comeback or if he even could. Could this be appealed in the hopes of getting a lesser punishment?

There's this question that keep popping in my head anytime I come across news linking to Paul Pogba. During the Frenchman time in Manchester United, did he involved in doping? We can't never tell because he was so good on the pitch and play with possession of strength. It's terrible and disappointing to see Paul Pogba convicted for doping in football. Why will the player in question take in drug when he's fully aware of the repercussions if caught in the act. Paul Pogba football is crashing down gradually. Giving him four years suspension from all rounds of football. Its pure conviction for Paul Pogba.

Juventus might terminate his contract. Football is not for the weak, it's mainly build for the strong and they're the only ones that survive and excelled in football world. Paul Pogba cases is detrimental and other players that are hiddenly anticipating in doping will stop. I was thinking for FIFA to reduce the years, despite Paul Pogba been faulty but I'm a fan of the Frenchman. He was so good with the ball when he was playing for Manchester United, enjoyed every moment watching him on the pitch, incase where he's present to give crucial passes.

If you look at Rafael Leao statement where he said that he would stay with AC Milan for a long time. so there is no chance for another team to sign him in the summer transfer window. Although his decision may change but I think he got everything he wanted in AC Milan. Moreover, he is the player with the highest salary in the AC Milan squad and he is always the first choice in every match, therefore I believe he will stay with AC Milan for a long time.

It is true that several big teams are starting to look at a number of players to become their targets in the summer window. Even for PSG, they want to find the right replacement for the position left by Mbappe because Mbappe is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid after it was reported that he had reached a verbal agreement. Thus, the summer transfer market will be quite hot due to the transfer of star players from one team to another.

I'm any of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich really want Xavi Alonso, I don't think there's much Bayer Leverkusen can do to stop the deal from happening. The deal won't happen only when Xabi Alonso himself says he's not going.

I saw reports a few days ago that Xabi Alonso and Bayern Munich have agreed on a deal. I don't know how true that is. The idea of coaching either Madrid or Munich is too enticing it would take so much more to keep him at Leverkusen.
I would prefer him to stay at Leverkusen for a longer period. I want him to play the Champions League with Leverkusen so he can get the Champions League experience in a team he built before going to a bigger team.

Alonso is a good coach, but I don't think he has been tested. The pressure of coaching a team like Madrid is much greater than coaching Leverkusen. If he loses the league to Munich this season with Leverkusen, he won't get the same backlash he'd get if it was Madrid. He needs to understand the pressure that comes from a Madrid or Bayern Munich job before making his decision.
