Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has been one of the standout managers in Europe this season. Despite only taking over at Bayer Leverkusen in October 2022, Alonso has completely transformed the Bundesliga side. In the 18 months he’s been charge, the Spaniard has taken Leverkusen from the relegation places, to winning the league title without losing a single game. Alonso’s team also secured the German Cup and although they lost the Europa League to an Ederson inspired Atalanta, their wonderful season will endure. Those who know Alonso best – like Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta – claim that he was always…
According to reports from Italy, an offer has been submitted for a player who’s been strongly linked with Liverpool in recent weeks. Calciomercato have claimed that a bid of €45m (£38.3m) including add-ons has been tabled by Juventus for Teun Koopmeiners, with the Bianconeri determined to fend off the competition for the Atalanta playmaker. However, the Europa League winners are expected to stick rigidly to their stance that the 26-year-old is worth at least €60m (£51m), which leaves the Turin club needing to bridge a substantial gap from their opening offer. Juve’s apparent low-balling could give Liverpool an opportunity to…
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has likened himself to legendary striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He claimed that his self-confidence is his habit even if it feels like arrogance to some. The Reds signed Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 after paying out his release clause worth £60 million. He has made 45 appearances across competitions for the club, registering seven goals and four assists. He started the season really well but his form fell off towards the end. In a recent interview, Szoboszlai was asked about his confidence, and he answered (via Anfield Sector): “This is how I am,…
There were fewer tears around Anfield than many anticipated as Jürgen Klopp waved farewell just over a week ago.

On the same day, Manchester City won the title — but it was Klopp’s departure that saw Pep Guardiola welling up. The Spanish coach was visibly emotional when asked about the German and what he has meant to the current Premier League era. In the week leading up to Manchester City winning the league for a fourth successive time and Klopp taking charge…

This former Slot star has been said to be the “complete” midfielder. Liverpool have a talented squad that is more than capable of leading Arne Slot toward success, though, without question, reinforcements are paramount this summer. Jurgen Klopp countered last summer’s midfield exodus by making sweeping changes, but now that Thiago Alcantara has departed upon the end of his contract there is possibly room for one more star in the centre of the park. Liverpool now frontrunners for former Slot star According to Calciomercato, Liverpool are leading the race for Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, with Chelsea and Juventus also in the…

In our latest look at the media headlines, it is evident that spirit has transferred to his coaching staff too. Lijnders admission on leaving…
Arne Slot’s management of Feyenoord star Lutsharel Geertruida is a clear example of how he can carry on Jurgen Klopp’s legacy of bringing through academy players. Klopp departed after nine years and his legacy was cemented in the spirit he brought to the city as well as the incredible successes on the pitch. However, his desire to give young players a chance was unlike any other elite manager at this time. His most famous example is promoting Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back who has gone onto be an elite player and it was very telling how his mother gave him an…
