Liverpool’s search for a new manager continues, and Xabi Alonso has emerged as a potential candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp. The Reds have reportedly submitted a request to speak to the Spaniard about taking the job. According to Bild, Liverpool sees Alonso as the right man to come in and lead the team. However, Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso’s current club, is not worried about the situation and considers the interest in their young manager to be natural.
In other news, Liverpool’s recent victory over Southampton has set up an exciting FA Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford next month. This means that their Premier League match against Everton will have to be rescheduled. Originally scheduled for March 17, the match could now take place on April 23 or 24, assuming Liverpool reaches the semi-finals of both the Europa League and FA Cup. There is even a possibility that the game could be moved to the final midweek of the season, which would add extra significance to the match as Liverpool could potentially win the title at Goodison Park.
Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, Liverpool may be in the market for attacking reinforcements, especially if Mohamed Salah leaves the club. Journalist Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Liverpool is keeping a close eye on Wolves winger Pedro Neto. The Portuguese player has been scouted by Liverpool in recent months and years and has been impressive this season, providing nine assists in 17 Premier League appearances. Neto’s pace and end product make him an attractive option for Liverpool’s attack.
In other news, Jurgen Klopp has made a plea to Liverpool supporters to stop urging Joe Gomez to shoot during matches. The manager believes that Gomez should focus on his defensive duties rather than taking shots at goal.
Moving away from Liverpool-related news, Paul Pogba has received a four-year ban from football after failing a drugs test in August. Cristiano Ronaldo has also been given a one-match suspension for provoking fans with a Lionel Messi jibe.
