Liverpool contact Xabi Alonso over potential Anfield return

Liverpool have contacted the representatives of former midfielder Xabi Alonso to ask about his availability for a possible return to Anfield in the near future. The 44‑year‑old, who recently left Real Madrid by mutual consent after a difficult spell in charge, is said to have given a positive response to the initial approach from his old club.​ Alonso had previously turned down opportunities from both Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the spring of 2024, choosing instead to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he was enjoying a successful project. Liverpool’s latest move is described as an attempt to anticipate future developments and determine whether they can realistically count on him as a managerial option.​ The club’s hierarchy are balancing longstanding respect for Alonso’s legacy as a player with ongoing admiration for current manager Arne Slot, who remains in charge despite recent […]

Mohamed Salah had a frustrating weekend as Liverpool lost 3-0 at Anfield to Nottingham Forest.

Leverkusen Sack Erik ten Hag After Just Two League Games

Bayer Leverkusen have parted ways with Erik ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches in charge, the club confirmed on Monday. The Dutchman, who signed a contract until 2027 in May after being dismissed by Manchester United last October, replaced Xabi Alonso following the Spaniard’s move to Real Madrid. However, Ten Hag struggled to steady the reigning champions after the sale of several key players from the squad that won a historic unbeaten double last season. “This decision was not easy for us. Nobody wanted to take this step,” sporting director Simon Rolfes said. “The past few weeks have shown that the steps to build a new and successful team have not been effective.” CEO Fernando Carro described the decision as “painful, but necessary.” The 55-year-old now holds the unwanted record of the fastest Bundesliga dismissal — sacked after just […]
