With Xabi Alonso the favourite to take over from Jurgen Klopp, we’ve tried to clear up talk of the Bayer Leverkusen boss having a ‘Liverpool clause’ in his contract. For many, Alonso seems like the logical choice for Liverpool manager thanks to the remarkable progress he has made at Bayer Leverkusen. When he took over in October 2022, the team were hovering above the Bundesliga relegation zone. Now, they are four points clear of Alonso’s former club, Bayern Munich, at the top of the table. This has led to him being one of the hottest managerial prospects in Europe, but…
Erik ten Hag has preferred both Antony and Marcus Rashford on the right-hand flank over Pellistri and now, it is being reported that La Liga club Granada are on the verge of signing the Uruguay international. That’s according to local outlet Granada Hoy, via Sport Witness, who say that Pellistri is set to join Granada on loan until the end of the season. As per the report, a deal to bring Pellistri to La Liga is in the ‘final phase’ and could be concluded before the January transfer window closes next week. It’s highly unlikely that United will be doing any business…
Jurgen Klopp confirmed on Friday morning he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season, prompting an outpouring of emotion among the fanbase.

The explanation put forward by Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores, explaining his decision to drop the January signing from his matchday roster, is that Hannibal Mejbri will benefit from some time out of the spotlight. The Manchester United-owned midfielder certainly raised eyebrows on his La Liga debut last time out, coming off the bench and wasting no time in ‘moaning’ at his team-mates during a 5-1 hammering by title challengers Girona. Adria Pedrosa, the young left-back, appeared to receive the brunt of Hannibal’s criticism, the tenacious Tunisian seemingly as uncompromising with his words as he is with his tackling. As such, Hannibal will…
Sevilla have announced that Hannibal Mejbri will not be considered for selection for the foreseeable future after a worrying start to his loan spell at the club. The 21-year-old joined the La Liga club on loan from Manchester United earlier this month, having rejected the chance to join Everton instead. Hannibal made his debut for Sevilla in a 5-1 defeat to Girona last weekend and was left out of the squad for the midweek defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. It has also been announced that he will not be involved in their league match against Osasuna on Saturday and will…

That is according to Football.London, who reports that the 22-year-old is a lifelong United fan and would relish the chance to make his dream come through by playing at Old Trafford next season. Erik ten Hag is said to be monitoring the Crystal Palace star’s progress this season as the Dutch coach will need a replacement for Jadon Sancho this summer, with the Englishman expected to leave the Manchester club once his Borussia Dortmund loan deal is complete. The other option for Olise is Chelsea, who activated the player’s £35m release clause last summer and the winger looked set to move to…
Chelsea remain interested in signing Michael Olise in the summer transfer window. However, soccerhuz.com understands the Crystal Palace winger would favour a move to Manchester United, with the Red Devils also interested.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side badly missed the absent Ballon d’Or front-runner, but were still able to snatch three points after a late rally. Madrid were always going to struggle without Jude Bellingham but they couldn’t have thought it would be this bad. Los Blancos didn’t show up for an hour, yet managed to find a valuable burst of quality late on, overturning a deficit to beat Las Palmas 2-1. The visitors lacked their usual attacking gusto with Bellingham suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card last week. The onus instead fell on Rodrygo early on, only for the Brazilian forward…
