Bayern Munich may have missed the championship after many years, but of course one day this championship streak would be broken. Yes, they did not have a legendary team like in previous years, but Bayern Munich always continued to play top quality football.
But it is not possible to say the same things for Manchester United, they played very badly throughout the season. Making such a transfer does not make much sense for the player, I would not want to leave the team I am in

Kompany said that he does not count on De Ligt, so Bayern is ready to let this player go, and now it is very difficult to say how good Bayern can be with Kompany, since his experience is too small for any forecasts. I may agree that De Ligt hasn't had the best season, but that applies to the whole team. Definitely Bayern still look much better than Manchester United, but if they are willing to let him go then it's probably best to do so.

Sancho is one of the players that will be released by Manchester United this summer, although he performed quite impressively with Dortmund during his loan period, but the bad relationship between ten hag and Sancho made Manchester United have to give up Sancho to go to another team, Manchester United actually want to return Sancho to Old Trafford but with all the problems that occur of course selling Sancho is the best way for Manchester United,  There are no permanent purchase conditions in Sancho loan contract between Manchester United and Dortmund, so indeed Manchester United can accept offers from other clubs that come at this time, besides that Dortmund reportedly wants to make Sancho permanent again but the repurchase price is too expensive to make Dortmund give up.

Currently, Juventus and Barcelona do intend to bring in Sancho and of course the two teams may not be able to realize the transfer in the near future, Juventus reportedly wants to borrow Sancho for 1 season and is ready to cover Sancho salary which is quite high at the moment, as well as Barcelona who also wants Sancho as a loan player with a permanent purchase clause,  But the offer of the two teams seems to be rejected by Manchester United because Manchester United only wants to release Sancho with Permanent at this time.

You say Barcelona and Juventus are interested? Yeah these teams could also be an option for Sancho. Actually he can still be signed by Barcelona in my opinion. I mean if we see Raphinha leaving this summer then Sancho can be signed in his place. He can play on both wings you know.

He is right-footed though which could make things more difficult for him to score on the right wing maybe but he can make lots of assists at the same time.  

Juventus would also be nice after a manager change. Motta would like to work with young talents like him I assume. Motta likes 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-4-1 formations. Sancho can find himself a place on both wings there especially if Chiesa leaves too.

I have been discuss about Matthijs De Ligt before because this summer he was into Bayern Munich sell list and Vincent Kompany has decided to sell him because Matthijs De Ligt will not into his plan for next season and actually the deperture of Matthijs De Ligt already predictable because this season Matthijs De Ligt was very often to gets the injured this makes he lost his place on Bayern Munich starting lineup and these situations is makes Matthijs De Ligt not comfortable anymore to playing with Bayern Munich so that's why he asking to his agent to look for new clubs and Bayern Munich also will allowing him to moved this summer

Ten Hag and Matthijs De Ligt was cooperate together when they still at Ajax so this factor also makes Matthijs De Ligt considering the offer of Manchester United because he know Ten Hag well besides that the most important is if Matthijs De Ligt is willing moved to Manchester United then Ten Hag will promising one place on the starting lineup which he cannot get if he continues to play with Bayern Munich and it says Manchester United have to spend 60 million for this transfer but they have to wait until Euro Cup ended because currently Matthijs De Ligt still focus to defend Netherland national team

Maybe you mean Xabi, not Xavi. And yes, the capacity and achievements that Xabi Alonso has achieved through his unbeaten record last season in the Bundesliga has provided quite clear evidence that he is truly a great coach who was once a pretty great player too. So he deserves any award for now and hopefully he will be able to continue with even more records next season by winning the Bundesliga trophy. I have no doubts about Xabi Alonso's progress as Bayer Leverkusen coach for next season after seeing what he achieved last season.

I think I actually heard this before as well. Don’t know if this is going to be a great move for The Reds. I am also doubtful about this being a good move for Matthijs De Ligt as well. Let's be honest, nobody wants to go to Manchester United right now unless they are forced to or does not have any other options left. Even with for the first time in 12 years Bayern Munich losing the Bundesliga title with Thomas Tuchel, and also the new head coach Vincent Kompany who does not have much of an experience joining, who has actually taken his previous club Burnley to relegation, I still believe things are far better at Bayern Munich compared to Manchester United.

Maybe it won't be possible for Leverkusen to become a strong, unbeatable team again even if there is a chance, but in terms of performance I think they already have it. They could be a strong team next season, but it won't be easy to maintain their unbeaten record again, because with Bayern Munich having got a new coach, they certainly won't let Leverkusen dominate the Bundesliga again. It would be great if Leverkusen could return to being an unbeatable team next season, but of course it will be difficult because apart from that they have to divide their focus with the Champions League.

with the time needed by Bayern Munich, this is certainly an opportunity for Leverkusen. If Bayern Munich cannot recover quickly then it will be a good opportunity for Leverkusen to dominate the Bundesliga again. because with a new coach of course it takes time to adapt, and whether the results will be better or not, what is clear is that Bayern Munich will do their best next season by not allowing Leverkusen to dominate again. Apart from that, Leverkusen is now a tough challenge for Bayern Munich, even though they have recovered, it might still be difficult to keep up with Leverkusen.

Last season was Xabi Alonso's first full season with Bayer Leverkusen but not his first season with the club because he joined the club in October 2022 which was in the middle of the 2022/23 season. It was in his first full season that he won the German Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal Cup and also guided the club to their first ever UEFA Europa League final of which they lost the eventual winners Atalanta. The constant debate about the future of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen and if he can be able to help the club retain the German Bundesliga come next season I don think is necessary considering his few years as a top manager.
Next season, Bayer Leverkusen will face a more difficult task because they'll be playing in the UEFA Champions League competition where they'll meet some of the best clubs in Europe so I don't think they'll be able to maintain their performance and consistency of last season. That been said, I strongly believe that they have all it takes to still win the league ahead of Bayern Munich

Manchester United are asking for €40m for Jadon Sancho and this price is quite unattractive for many clubs including Borussia Dortmund and Juventus which seems also interested in bringing him to Italy.
Manchester United don't want him to let him go on loan again but they would rather sell him or as they said sacrifice him with lower amount of money once for all. I don't know if the asked price will make Dortmund make a move or not.

To repeat the unbeaten record is very difficult, but Leverkusen chances of retaining the title next season are still very high. The change of managers carried out by Bayern and Dortmund provides greater opportunities for Xabi fleet, and I don't think Xabi will just throw away this opportunity. Xabi is certainly determined to repeat his impressive season, although it will not be an easy job.

Xabi ambitions with Leverkusen next season can be seen clearly, where almost most of their mainstay players are still at the club, I think this is a signal to Bayern and the other Bundesliga contestants. Kompany and Nuri Sahin actually have the same opportunity to bring their respective teams to success, but their struggle feels harder because they have to go through an adaptation process.

Xabi has received recognition from various circles, he has proven his tactical qualities with Leverkusen, and only a few coaches can do that. Last season many people doubted that Leverkusen would be successful in winning the trophy, but in the end they succeeded. Next season it looks like it will be the same, and maybe Leverkusen will be successful again.

Doubting some one who got a great success in his first attempt is almost a very normal thing and shouldn't be seen as a big deal because it's possible in his second attempt he may do poorly and this isn't new in football as we have seen Case as such severally even with bigger teams  and with coaches who are considered experienced , they do well in their first season, but in the subsequent, they turn out to becoming a different Coach all together such that they can't be trusted enough with their performance.

All this pit together is enough to still doubt Xabi at this point even if he has been able to put up a very brilliant performance in the last season which led to a very tremendous achievement which gave home the commendations across Europe. He will become trusted well enough by football fans especially if in the new season, he's able to produce another brilliant and fantastic results, even if he's not going to replicate the exact same results, but a very close similar yet excellent results will do and then it can be established that he's a top class coach and can be able to achieve more as he grows in his career as a coach.

Most persons including myself, hope that xabi becomes successful in the next season especially as he has decided to still stay back at Leverkusen to coach them in the new season, wishing him all the best is the least we can do from this end as football lovers but he will have to play his part technically and strategically to still attain success again this season. He's a very young and promising coach which I believe has got a very good future ahead in his career and undoubtedly will do well.

That’s quite hard to happen again but they can try and see if it can happen again since they still have their coach with them and the same most important players that made it happen for them last season. They should not look at Bayern Munich’s coach as their weakness and have a feeling or thought that  they won’t prevail with an inexperienced coach or not not too good to do well coach like Kompany. The football atmosphere changes and if they don’t play at their best, like the one that want to repeat same thing of last season and not under looking any team they come across, they can still win the league match. The undefeated run is what will be the most hard to happen if at all they can win the league again.

Conditions at Manchester United that will not be comfortable for Sancho are indeed a difficult condition if forced so it will be very good if he makes the choice to tap stay in Doortmund. But indeed Dortmund's loan for Sancho is only one season and I think it will be very difficult for Manchester United to release Sancho at this time if there is no clause in accordance with the wishes even though his relationship with the coach is still very disturbed for now but forcing him on loan again without the option to make the player permanent then it will be very difficult.

If in the end Sancho wants to stay at Signal Iduna Park then Dormtund must be prepared with an offer for Sancho because I think as long as the price is right then this will not be too difficult.

It is normal if many people doubt another big surprise from Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen because it won't be easy to repeat the same success. If they could be undefeated in Bundesliga last season, it seems hard to happen in the next season. Every team in Bundesliga must already learn the weakness of Leverkusen, they will try to defeat Leverkusen with harder efforts. Even if Leverkusen may still can handle them, but the chance for a lose is higher. However, I still favor Leverkusen to win Bundesliga title because Xabi still stays in Leverkusen and the squad is not so much different from the last season. Let's see if Xabi Alonso can repeat the success in Bundesliga.

Honestly, I personally don't doubt Xabi Alonso's capacity. As we know, Alonso has managed Leverkusen for two seasons. even though he started his career with Leverkusen, Alonso entered in the middle of the season. but he was able to prove it, at that time Leverkusen was in the red zone but Alonso was able to bring his team to finish in sixth place in the Bundesliga. in his second season, Alonso proved his capacity to bring Leverkusen to the top by breaking Bayern Munich's dominance so far. what's unique is that Leverkusen didn't even experience defeat, although sometimes in some matches they actually won because they were lucky. however, this is normal, but overall Leverkusen played very well.

Next season, Alonso will definitely target defending the League title they won previously. with the player material they have, plus maybe some newcomers brought to the BayArena, Leverkusen seems ready to face new competition. apart from that, Alonso will also use the Champions League as a benchmark for his current squad. what is certain is that the Leverkusen players and Xabi Alonso as manager will do their job to the best of their ability. so, the question is, can Alonso and his squad remain consistent like the previous season. this is not a capacity issue, but rather performance consistency. Moreover, both Bayern Munich and their new coach. or several other teams with potential, will be an obstacle for Leverkusen because they both want to be the best in this competition. so, to be sure, there is no other choice but to wait for the Bundesliga to roll out.

Losing only one last match in a final does not mean that he lost his quality as a good coach and good record which he created in Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso is still a good coach and Leverkusen is expecting more from him because he is having more experience in the field from season to season. Leverkusen might still win Bundesliga next season because the team is in a strong form.

I don't see Bayern Munich as winners of the title next season because they have a lot to put together in order to achieve a good result. Kompany needs to study his players and understand their potential before he can make them fit into his game pattern and that will take time. What if Kompany is not capable of adding impact amd improve the club. When you look at it from this side, you will see that it is not an easy task for Kompany.

Most people who keeps doubting the success of Xabi Alonso next season are yet to consider wha he has achieved in his first year as the Bayer Leverkusen manager. One thing he did that is good is that despite playing an unbeaten run in the league none of his players are seriously injured and the team is yet to sell any of the star players which should have affected the performance of the team next season, during the transfer market I believe Xabi Alonso will want to add more good players to his team which will make them stronger.

For sure Bayern Munich will be their biggest rivals next season but just as you said the team experienced some poor performance last season as a result of poor management but now that they have a new manager who will be tasked on reviving the team, I doubt if the team will get back to their best performance so fast so I still think Xabi Alonso and his team Bayer Leverkusen still has the advantage to be ahead of Bayern Munich next season if they should maintain their good form.

@iBaba, You need to know, that the manager of Bayer Leverkusen is Xabi Alonso and not Xavi Alonso.
But indeed, it seems that Bayer Leverkusen failure in the Europa League may be a factor in them doubting Xabi Alonso capacity for next  season. Although indeed, basically I will remain confident that Xabi Alonso is still able to provide the best results for Bayer Leverkusen in the nextseason in the Bundesliga. After all,Bayern Munich also has a coach or manager who is very doubtful about Vincent Kompany and with still needing time to adapt,  then I personally will doubt the quality and chance of Bayern Munich next season. With these factors, then I believe Xabi Alonso will be able to maximize the moment ofcourse to still be able to dominate the Bundesliga next season.

I wonder why it looks like people are doubting the capacity of Xavi Alonso when he has proven that he will make a successful manager in the long run with the way he confidently led the Bayer guys to success. I like men with steeze,  a stlye that Alonso has been able to prove lately. All I can send him is my prayers and Goodwill over a successful outcome by the next season but not to doubt his capacity or see him as an opportunist. He actually worked for the success he got and deserves the accolades.
