Liverpool must consider a blockbuster move for Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou after being rejected by Xabi Alonso, according to a former Reds star. Liverpool will enter a new era this summer, as iconic manager Jurgen Klopp will end his spell at Anfield and take a break from football. Senior Liverpool officials including Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have looked at whether they can replace Klopp with Alonso, though that pursuit came to a halt earlier on Friday. The Spaniard broke his silence on the links with Liverpool and Bayern Munich by saying: “I had a good meeting with Bayer…

Liverpool could begin life after Jurgen Klopp by signing a star the manager himself has branded his “favourite player”. The Reds go into the summer faced with the possibility of a big-money offer for Mohamed Salah from the Saudi Pro League, the type of which they would struggle to turn down given the Egypt international only has a year left to run on his contract. As such, they are tracking possibilities to replace him and have turned their attentions to West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, according to TeamTalk. Bowen, 27, has enjoyed a career year at West Ham under David…

Real Madrid have reportedly turned down an offer of €80 million from Liverpool for attacker Rodrygo Goes.The Brazilian is thought to become surplus to requirements following the imminent arrival of PSG striker Kylian Mbappe. However, having signed a new deal with the club till 2028, Rodrygo isn’t in danger of falling down the pecking order anytime soon.

That includes 13 goals and eight assists in 41 games across competitions this term.…

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes could miss his side’s Premier League clash against Liverpool at Old Trafford next weekend. The playmaker has been United’s talisman throughout a dogged campaign, tallying the most goal contributions for the side this season with eight goals and nine assists. None of these have come against Liverpool, though. He played the full 120 minutes against Liverpool in the 4-3 FA Cup clash prior to the international break, ending the game hobbling at centre-back. He has been given an extra period of rest after being sent home from Portugal duty after scoring against Sweden last Friday.…

Paul Merson described the managerial role at Liverpool as ‘one of the biggest jobs in football’ and admitted he was ‘shocked’ by Xabi Alonso’s decision to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. He may regret it later for taking such a recless decision not minding his future. It is good opportunity for him to take over a great club and continue where Jurgen Klopp stop but he rather turned it down and choose to remain at his current club. It’s a very risky decision as Liverpool can’t continue to wait for him and the manager position to be vancant so this is…

Liverpool may appoint Roberto De Zerbi after missing out on Xabi Alonso, a potential gut punch for fans. De Zerbi’s record compared to Klopp’s shows a difference in experience and performance in the Premier League. Considering Ruben Amorim as Klopp’s replacement could also be a risky move due to his lack of experience and tactical differences. Liverpool are reportedly interested in appointing Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi after being dealt a blow in their pursuit of Xabi Alonso, and journalist Matt Thielen believes that going from Jurgen Klopp to the Italian coach would be a ‘gut punch’.…

Jamie Carragher has told Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal they will need 90 points to win the Premier League title. The three sides are separated by just one point with 10 games to go, and with Man City hosting Arsenal this Sunday, the title race could get a lot more interesting very soon. Carragher believes that if Arsenal beat the reigning champions in their own backyard, then the Gunners – who are currently top on goal difference – will be considered favourites. But there’s a magic number for each team to aim for, according to the ex-Liverpool defender. In his…

It outlines just how decisive this weekend’s round of fixtures could be in the title race. Away from the upcoming clash against Brighton, Liverpool must…

Xabi Alonso is confident he is in the “right place” as the Bayer Leverkusen shuts down talk of a potential move to Liverpool. Alonso, who has a contract with Leverkusen until 2026, has become the talk of Europe and a reported target for top clubs after leading his team through an unbeaten season while challenging for three trophies. “It’s been a season with a lot of speculation regarding my future. We’ve had many games, we’ve been busy and focused. I used the international break to reflect better and take a decision,” Alonso told reporters. “Last week I had a meeting…

Liverpool’s injury list added an extra name thanks to international action, but Jurgen Klopp had positive news to share regarding Andy Robertson‘s setback as he offered a squad update. The Scotland captain, again, was forced off the field representing his country but, thankfully, this issue is not nearly as serious as his dislocated shoulder. Robertson is to miss Sunday’s clash against Brighton due to his knock to the ankle, but Klopp explained the prognosis is a promising one. He told reporters on Friday: “Robbo we will take it day by day, we will see. He will not train today (Friday)…
