The clubs in the SPL bid for Mohamed Salah came very late, the summer transfer window was already closing. The next transfer window will be a great opportunity for him to move to Saudi Arabia if he has an interest in the league. I think the Egyptian was to make some good money and also face new challenges. His family will also be comfortable with the Islamic society since they share the same beliefs as Saudis. The failure of Salah to extend his contract in Liverpool beyond next year means that the club will not make so much money from the transfer of the prolific striker. His performance has depreciated in recent times, so it might be the time to make more money for retirement   

I don’t think even if the Saudi league had earlier bid for Salah that they will be to get him signed. Liverpool has made it clear me to anyone that Salah is an untouchable in the team. Liverpool suffered a huge drop of form last season when they sold out Mane and with Firmino leaving this transfer window, it will be unwise to sell of a leader like Salah. Salah stale contract discussion has always been a thing that regularly happens to players most especially Salah, he might not necessarily be requesting to leave but the rather be wanting an increase in his wages or maybe the contract duration is what is keeping him.

That is what Liverpool says for now, but the truth is that there is a price tag for every single player in the world. I was impressed that they refused this offer they got from the Saudi Professional League the last time although I don't know whether it would have ended in a transfer anyway because in the end it is also the player who has to say yes. I am not sure if Salah ever expressed his desire to leave Liverpool and go to a club in the Saudi Professional League. From what I was able to gather, I think that Salah never intended to leave Liverpool in the first place.

Every player has the tactics to get what they want that mostly include contract extension and increase in wages. Salah knows how important he is to Liverpool mostly as it is clearly evident his contribution in keeping the team on top the table with more goals and assist as needed. Selling Mane was a huge mistake for which the entire team suffered from and almost lost their top position on the league table. Salah is a key player and the tallisman who can help turn the tides of a match in their favour.
Salah is merely doing as other players would have done normally when a huge bonus offer comes their way mostly when it is in schedule for retirement plans.
Everyone thought Salah was the man making things to happen at Liverpool FC,not untill they lost Mane to Munich,that they realized who was who in the team.It was when he left that Salah became naked,and wasn't able to do anything too serious again at the team.Although he was still scoring goals but not as he was when Mane was there.It will be very hard for Liverpool to return to it's former place of glory because they've not been able to find any suitable replacement to Mane till date,and even if Nunez is trying now,he cant match half of what Mane did at Liverpool in his days there.However,everyone has his own version,now it's Darwin Nunez everyone is talking about to occupy the vacuum left by Mane in the squad.

Guardiola's team is much worse than last year. It's only week 8 and they've already lost 2. The absence of Ilkay Gundogan and De Bruyne is obvious. It is also a question mark whether there was a need for so many new players. This is what happens when you play with the genes of the team so much. Last year, man city won those matches with the incredible performance of İlkay Gündoğan, especially in the cl matches with his constant goals and assists. It is obviously bad for manchester city to lose ilkay gündoğan who performs well in high and good matches. Obviously City will not be as dominant as last year.

City were in the lead all this time and no one was talking about their bad game, but as soon as they had a slight decline, people immediately started talking about how bad things were for City. You shouldn’t think that because Gundogan left the team, and De Bruyne now absent due to injury, City have become worse in their play, this is not. Last season, significantly more players left City, Zinchenko, Sterling, Jesus and others, all predicted City's decline because of this, but in the end they won the Premier League and the Champions League, so don't rush to conclusions.
you cannot compare the Calibre of players that left last season to the ones who left this season.Zinchenko and Jesus were not first team players at City, although Jesus was the only recognised striker at the team,but wasn't often used.But this season,they lost Gundogan,and we all know the impact of Gundogan in big matches,they also lost one of their best wingers,and one of the best wingers in the premier league which is Mahrez.
Like that wasnt enough, Debruyne is now out due to injury ,which has had a significant effect on the performance of the team,and the recent one was Rodri,who was sent off due to red card,that's why they are really performing badly,and losing games back to back.

David Raya is increasingly showing his solidity with Arsenal amidst his current status. However, he hopes he can be signed because Arsenal is a suitable club for him. In my opinion, this would be a big advantage for the Gunners if they really have the intention to make David Raya permanent. Apart from that, by having 2 extraordinary goalkeepers whose quality is evenly matched, both David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale will be able to maintain the goal defense well. Moreover, currently the Gunner is facing tough competition in the UCL which requires their goal to be able to minimize conceding goals.

source : https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1714222218274857141

Not alone this season,  David Raya made important saves last season for Brentford as they had remarkable success results.  Raya is good with the ball, serves the ball correctly to the player on the run and has good communication skills with his defenders. Mike Arteta indeed had a good eye when he decided making him part of Arsenal.
Ramsdale is good too but he made some big mistakes at the last few games of last season that cost Arsenal  the Premier league.
If he continues with the good defense they have everything to set a good record.
I love Raya,but I don't know why I'm so passionate about Ramsdale,maybe it's because of some incredible and unbelievable saves he made last season that's actually making me prefer him over Raya.I know the both are two goalkeepers that are very good,but when it comes to saves,I totally believe Ramsdale is more better than him.I know Raya has been very good in the few games he has played so far this season,and have kept more clean sheets than Ramsdale this season,but the passion Ramsdale has towards football and when Arsenal win a game  is something special.If I were Arteta,I would rotate them,I will use one for premier league,and the other for Champions league and other cups,than keeping Ramsdale on bench and not playing him atall.

Messi wanted more what his family needed and in the end he chose to enjoy life in MLS.
Yes, of course Lionel Messi gave his family more priority. Lionel Messi's family had more interest in playing in the MLS than in Saudi Arabia. It is said that Lionel Messi was also interested in playing for Inter Miami. Messi also received good offers from Saudi Arabia, but Lionel Messi rejected this offer and joined Inter, Miami. This also proved one thing: Lionel Messi preferred football to money. Like Ronaldo, Neymar preferred money and didn't like to play. The big players fell into the money trap of Saudi Arabia and gave preference to money instead of play. Lionel Messi saw the interest of his family and made Inter Miami his destination until 2024. There is a possibility of Lionel Messi's return to Barcelona's approach to the end of his contract. What do you guys think makes Lionel Messi's return to Barcelona possible or not? Express your opinion.
It won't be bad if Messi  comes back to Barcelona,and I also think with what Messi have done,and the record he has set at Barca,and in the world at large,No team will reject him, especially his former club,where he played from a tender age and made impressive performances there.I just think he can go back their to be a legend.
This will really be a big boost for Barcelona and the entire club if Lionel Messi should actually come back to his former team.He is the current all time best footballer,and with the experience he has,he can still bring back Barca to it former place.

I think that Kevin De Bruyne's absence will be felt even more in the Champions League. I mean that the group stage is comfortable for them of course as they don't have very tough opponents. But when they face title contenders in the later stages they would feel the absence of him surely.

Because there has been a really great cooperation between him and Erling Haaland especially. He has been creating so many goal chances for Haaland so far. He is an amazing player with his passes and impressive shots as well. Foden is trying to make up for De Bruyne but their playing styles are very different. Foden is more selfish than De Bruyne.

In my opinion, his absence is noticed in the EPL and would definitely be noticed in the champions league. The group stages were easy enough as they didn’t face a major threat that could hinder them from reaching the finals and possibly winning it too.

I think Haaland is not finding it that easy to score a lot of goals as one would expect. De Bruyne, who would have located and given Haaland some beautiful passes to enable the lad score goals is out of action.
Both players are in sync on the pitch and that coordination between them and in general, the rest of the team yields positive results. I have little doubts that Man City, without De Bruyne is still a formidable opponent.
Manchester City without Debruyne can still twist out wins abut Haaland won't get enough goals,but If Rodri is not in the team,Manchester City is so shapeless and naked.These two players are unarguably the two most important players at Etihad stadium,and I think Pep Guardiola knows that now.Haaland has not been able to get many goals in the champions league,and without Debruyne giving him finishing passes that will lead to goal,but is unavailability has made Haaland see no goal.

However,let's hope to see if Manchester City will start performing well the moment Debruyne and Rodri are fully active and engaged in their team.

There is a Chelsea - Arsenal match closing in on us. What are your thoughts about it?

Personally I think that Chelsea's job is still very difficult in Stamford Bridge despite the progress they made in their last 2 matches. Those wins are important to start believing in themselves more of course. But still they were wins against smaller teams. It is a mystery what they can do in this big match while Arsenal are in great shape. Arsenal got past a bigger obstacle like Manchester City in Emirates. I think that they are the closer side to win the match against Chelsea as well.

Chelsea need more contribution from their attackers. And I feel like this can only happen after Nkunku starts training with the team.
This match is going to be a tough match as we all know,because Arsenal are all going for  the three points,while Chelsea will be looking for a way to stop them.My Joy is that Arsenal wingers like Saka who missed Manchester City's game due to injury would be available,and Martinelli who scored the only  winning Goal against City will also be in contention in that game.Its going to be very entertaining match to watch,and I'm going to back the gunners to flog them like 3-0.Chelsea will want to prove their strength,and be tested against a good side,and if they can get a draw in this match,then I think their confidence will be back a little.

In the upcoming match, Liverpool will host Everton, precisely in week 9 of the Premier League this season. Liverpool in the last 2 matches they had to swallow negative results by accepting 1 defeat and 1 draw, obviously it was not good after they recorded a series of consecutive wins. Everton, although they won 2 times in their last 3 matches, but it was their first 2 wins this season out of 8 matches they have played. Statistically Liverpool are better, and in terms of strength Liverpool are stronger than Everton, an opportunity for them to record another victory after the last 2 weeks they could not get it.

This analysis you've done on these two teams is exactly what it is. This match will not create much uncertainty about who will win or lose in this derby. Liverpool will continue to dominate the league, and Everton will not pose a significant threat to them for not win this match. This is not a difficult match for them to win in order to maintain their place and continue their dominance in the league, and I'm convinced that they can win with a good margin of goals to increase their number of goal difference in the standings. Another statistic from their last five meetings shows that Liverpool won three, drew one, and lost one. So this Saturday’s match will be in favour of Liverpool.
I am not seeing this with you guys,I know quite well that Liverpool are in good form this season,and will have strength than Everton,but this Everton are begining to show that they can match other  premier league teams when it comes to strength.Liverpool are beginning to lose form,and anything can just happen in this game,Everton also have a chance of either winning or drawing the game as well,because they will want to continue winning games and moving up on the league table because they were down below.However,Joghen Klopp will try as much as possible to not either draw or lose this match,but I refuse to take side with any team because in premier league,any team can win any team.So,the better team will win.

I have tried adhering to this,but I find it very difficult to,and I know quite well that there are some days when you will be frustrated because you want to win more,but will find it so difficult to get a win.This is where the topic comes in,never to push more when you see that it's isn't just going well for that day.Gambling can be so annoying when you keep on losing,you wish to win by all means,but the game is not one that guarantees you regular win,playing more after a losing streak will cause you to lose more money.

SC Braga, who in their next match in Group C will face Real Madrid, will likely have a little difficulty winning even though the match will be played at the Estadio Municipal de Braga.
Braga at home might also make it difficult for Real Madrid to get full points, although in terms of quality and experience Real Madrid is much better, but Braga is not bad either. In my personal opinion, this match is actually difficult to predict, although also I actually support Real Madrid to win, but anyway Braga is not an easy opponent to beat. Especially, Braga will face a big team at home, that will motivate them to show their best performance.
This is going to surely be a win for Real Madrid considering the kind of quality they have in their team now.They've been showing how good they are in the Lalliga and in the champions league,and I don't see Braga defeating or even drawing them in any way.I know Braga is a good team defensively and offensively,but where Madrid will outshine them is in terms of the quality of players in the team,which is a huge factor in determining the winner of the game.
Madrid is one of the big contenders for the Champions league tittle this season,they have the likes of Mancity,Bayern,Arsenal and Barca to contend with when it comes to the tittle.

-snip

They may pass Fulham and Crystal Palace games without a trouble but they will have harder fixture in next six games. That's when we probably see changes in standing in Premier League.
yep, I fully support your statement, maybe Spurs are only temporarily at the top of the standings and as far as I remember, this was like the start of last season when Spurs looked very strong when they still had Kane but after going through many games they slowly dropped to 8th place and I rate Spurs only ambitious at the start and will lose his consistency after passing a big team like Man City.

I predict that Spurs will start to lose the top their standings after december.

Even if Harry Kane was in that team Tottenham would still be the league leaders but they know how it will end up after this international break. One thing about them is that they have players that are ready to play and get the job done but I don't know if they start playing against bigger teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Newcastle and others is like they start losing form to getting that consistency of winning and winning, are they afraid when the game becomes hard?
Let's see if this coach can change their mentality for good, but I completely agree with you that they can't make it till December at the top of the log, because the forces that are coming ones this break is over is not an easy one.
Totthenham really mean business this time around,For seasons,they haven't been this good even when they had the almighty Kane who was scoring goals back to back.All of a sudden,Kane just leaves the team and it looks as if they were waiting for him to leave before they will start performing well.This Totthenham team and Arsenal team makes me know that  coach really means alot to the growth and the success of any team.Same thing to Joghen Klopp's Liverpool.Before, Liverpool was not known anywhere near champions league,they weren't in any European competition,but when Klopp came,he changed their mentality and everyone starts performing well,and that has brought them this far.

I don't think there's anything strange about that, because scoring a goal or a lot of goals doesn't guarantee they can win the game, right? We can see from the results of their first match against Bayern Munich. They scored 3 goals, but Bayern Munich scored 4. Against Galatasay it was the same, they could create 2 goals but Galatasaray could create more than what they could create so that made Manchester United lose the match.
0 points from 2 matches, that's not a good result, and they are in danger of packing their bags and not making it to the knockout stages.
Its not really important with Manchester United player Rasmus Hojlund lead top scorer awhile in Champion League after scoring three goals but not guarantee with his team will qualify to the next round or not. Most important thing not only how many goals scoring but also Manchester United have to try without conceded any goal yet if want get placed on 16 round. Manchester United played two matches but still not get points yet, upcoming match face Copenhagen is important match for recovery and first three points will help United chance qualifying to next round or have eliminated early in Champion League competition. Beside try to score as many possible goals, Manchester United should strong in defense area how to secure their winning match.
I am not sure of the fact that United will be able to qualify for the next round of the tournament,they have two players who are currently topping the highest goal scoring charts,but I just think those number of goals that they've scored are the only ones they are going to score because they will soon be eliminated from the tournament if they don't stand their ground in making sure they win the next match they would play.Copehaghen is not a small team thet Man U can just win like that,they need to be very sharp in both attack and defence to ensure they clinge victory in that encounter.I just pray United qualifies,but their chances of qualifying are very slim.

Moreover, Real Madrid must also be paying more attention to this player, yes it is because of his ability to score goals after he joined Barcelona.
Lewandoski has been a goal machine before he joined Barcelona from Bayern and I believe that was the main reason why he was signed to Barca. It is in Barcelona that his goal scoring force declined and he is no longer scoring those massive goals he use to score in Bayern. He is a player that as long as he is on the field, you must be very careful and vigilant if you are a defenfer.

Yes Real Madrid are in a good sensation right now, with the presence of Jude Bel as the motor of attack as well as being a goal machine for Real Madrid. His ability is suitable for Real Madrid, that's what makes him easily shine with this new team.
Bellingham is an outstanding plater with his superb skills that he gat, which makes him to be able to play three role on the field at the same time, he is a player with great potential and I admire him for that. Ancelotti made the right move to bring him down to Real Madrid to cover the spot that Benzema left open.

I have the same theory about both players Lewandoski and Bellingham. I think Bellingham has an amazing performance in Real Madrid and that's what we all know about this palyer but still, Real Madrid is very dependent on this palyer and without him, they will have problems which is not good for a team like Real Madrid. Also, there is the same problem in Barcelona with Lewandoski and when he gets injured they can't find alternative players for this palyer.
The season is really going to be very competitive for both teams,because they both have similarities,Barca have Lewandowski,and Madrid have Bellingham.The former is a better experienced attacker than the latter,but with the energy that Bellingham have,and the zeal to be Lalliga's top striker,Lewa might find it hard to beat him this season.Ever since he made that move to Madrid,he has contributed positively to Madrid,and made them not to feel the absence of Karim Benzema who was Madrid's top scorer ever since Christiano Ronaldo left the team.He made them win most of the trophies they won,and also won individual award.And for a young player coming into the team,and doing exactly what Benzema does is something incredible.

Was Ten Hag's sacking a good decision?
No, I don't think it's a good decision. If Ten Hag is being sacked, then I am sure Manchester United won't be able to balance this season again. Probably what happened to Chelsea last season is going to happen to Manchester United if they mistakenly change coach this season. Ten Hag will be able to solve the United problem, but he should be given time. I know it's annoying for Manchester United fans see their club losing, but they shouldn't just make harsh decisions. How sure are you that the new coach that Manchester United will be signing won't be worse than Ten Hag?

Manchester United fans complained about De Gea last season about his poor performance, so Ten Hag decided to sign Onana this season, thinking Onana would perform better than De Gea, but as we can see, Onana is kind of worse than De Gea, and people are complaining and wishing De Gea is still their goalkeeper. So if Manchester United will be changing their coach, no one is sure about the new coach that they will be signing, the club performance might even get worse.

If Manchester United should sack Ten Hag,it would be one of the biggest mistakes they've made  because even as we are saying he hasn't been able to make Man united embark on a winning streak this season,and we are pouring criticism on him,I can say that he is still the man that can make United start performing well.They qualified for Champions league last season,but when they started the season,they started it on a poor note as well,and later ended up qualifying for the Champions league ,which shows that no matter how poor in form they seem to be,at the end of the day,they would still qualify for European tournament.United fans just need to be patient with him,and I believe things will turn around for good.

Ange is undeniably a fantastic coach to kick off the EPL season, and even Guardiola has had to acknowledge that Ange's tactics remain uncanny to counter. I believe the departure of Kane from Spurs has weakened the team, and surprisingly, Tottenham is now starting the season strongly alongside Arsenal. I'm beginning to consider Spurs as a more formidable threat than Arsenal because Ange, the manager, seems to be quite enigmatic.

What I'm most looking forward to is whether Ange can maintain the top position until the end of the season. There are often numerous upsets as the season approaches its 20th week, with underdog teams occasionally springing unexpected surprises. Only consistency can provide the answer. As long as Spurs' performance is consistently upheld, they might indeed finish in the top 3 alongside Man City and Liverpool.
What else do we need to justified the fact that Tottenham Hotspur would be able to reach their peak this season afte an incredible performance portrayed. Angelos Postecoglou is a good coach to start with, winning Manager Of The Month two times in a row, implies he's doing an extreme terrific job. Postecoglou presence have pushed Tottenham Hotspur into an elevated new stage, everything working perfectly smooth Spurs this season. We should examined how consistent they would be able to comprehend their challenges this season, 100% focused on good results, nothing changed.
No doubt about their effort to be among the Tittle contenders this season,and with what they've done so far,one can finalise that They may possibly be out for something big this season,but that is strictly on one condition,which is the fact that not all players at Totthenham Hurtspur are on this level,the few ones that have this mentality are the ones playing,and should anything like injury hit the the team now,it will certainly worry the team, therefore,they need to sign players that will be backups,and those other players on bench won't be able to participate same way the other person were doing.
We will wait to see where Totthenham will end up this season with their early performances.

-What are your thoughts on Mitoma Kaoru, Brighton's left winger, who is receiving high praise from experts? Many believe he would be an excellent fit for Manchester United, a team that frequently utilizes squads with wingers. Given the current squad's lack of quality wingers, I think Mitoma would be a valuable addition. Manchester United should seriously consider acquiring him, especially when the form of their current wingers is subpar and ineffective.
- Mitoma possesses all the qualities of an exceptional winger, including speed, technique, and a sharp mindset, and he comes at a price of around £43 million, which is only half the amount Manchester United spent to bring in Antony and Sancho.
Mitoma is one of the best wingers in the premier league,and no one can doubt that.Mitoma has been incredible since he came to Brighton,Since Caicedo and the rest left the club,Mitoma is the hottest prospect at the club now which every team wants.I don't  like the fact that it is Manchester United that are trying to sign him because if he chooses to sign for them,they will definitely kill his career,he should sign for a club like Arsenal or Manchester City,where his talent can be fully activated.
however,Brighton won't just let the prospect leave like that,they would want a whooping amount for him,which may be in the region of 60-70 million Pounds.

They were able to win the recent games with Rodri. But in his absence they couldn't do this and lost those games. Rodri is a really important part of this team now of course. He is making a really serious contribution with his goal attempts by helping his teammates in the attacking line as well. But of course the reason why they lost those games isn't only this situation. They need to make a good level of improvement in team performance on one hand.
Rodri is so important and indispensable for Manchester City, they do not even have a like-for-like replacement for him, they bought Kalvin Philips for that purpose, but he has failed to impress Guardiola and has been given little to no playing time. Rodri would be back for the game against Brighton and he is definitely walking straight back into the squad and i'm pretty sure he has learnt his lesson after his three match suspension. Having said that, maybe City has to buy another defensive midfielder, it is quite bad that they struggle so much whenever Rodri isn't available, what if he picks up a long term injury, thus i think the club has to strengthen in that department.
Definitely,Manchester City will strengthen the defensive department in the summer,maybe this coming January transfer window because I believe Guardiola have seen where the team's weakness is,and must try as much as possible to provide an adequate cover.Rodri will be back against Brighton,but that game is still going to be worry them because they know how Brighton plays,and they find it a very hard nut to crack winning them.In the other hand, Brighton will be looking forward to continue what they did against inform Liverpool after losing to Aston Villa the other week.They drew Liverpool,which to me is a very good result with Liverpool's form this season.Maybe,they will be aiming at stopping City as well.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to Barcelona because the team is a top one and associates with fierce energy. Barcelona in good shape despite poor standings below Girona, we know the specified teams that would actually reached significant positions on La Liga table this season and Girona might not be among, starting the league with spectacular energy, it doesn't guarantee they will end up in the top four. Girona lacks consistency to continue their brilliant performance, directly means they have slim probability to survive.
Are you sure we don't need to worry about Barcelona? Have you counted how many Barcelona players got injured? There are 6 Barcelona players who got injured, it means they are not in a good condition now. Sadly, those 6 players are mostly the key players for Barcelona squad. If they often get injured, it may ruin their performance. Those players will be difficult to maintain their good performance due to injured problem.

Anyway, I think you too underestimate Girona. They played quite consistent so far, they started this season perfectly. Although they got 1 defeat, it doesn't mean they probably easier got more losses. In reality, they still can maintain good performance.


Barcelona are in good shape,they aren't doing badly at the moment,but they just need to be consistent in their game play,they are aware of the fact that Madrid won't let them win the Tittle again this season,and therefore,they need to belt up and try to do well,else,smaller teams will take advantage of their state.
And for the injury crisis befalling them,yes,injury is part of the game,but the ability of the coach to improvise when injury hits his players and still grind out a better result is what makes that coach a better coach.Barcelona will still do well this season and definitely qualify for the Champions League again,but winning the league will be impossible.

While Conte was in England,I thought he was going to win the premier league,and I also thought that he was going to be a long serving coach like Joghen Klopp and Pep Guardiola,but life at England shocked him,he couldn't make Totthenham qualify for anything in Europe,which gave Totthenham no choice but to let him go.When I tell people English premier league is the toughest league in the world,people still doubt that fact,but it's very true.Before one can be a successful player or a successful coach in England,you must have undergone series of criticism which has made you stronger.Look at Arteta now and the time he came new to Arsenal,how he lost games consecutively and made Arsenal sit bottom of the table,but Arsenal gave him their backings,which has now made Arteta transformed the team into something better.

By the way recently Manchester City have had interesting statistics which I mean like a coincidence or maybe not.  Grin

They were able to win the recent games with Rodri. But in his absence they couldn't do this and lost those games. Rodri is a really important part of this team now of course. He is making a really serious contribution with his goal attempts by helping his teammates in the attacking line as well. But of course the reason why they lost those games isn't only this situation. They need to make a good level of improvement in team performance on one hand.
With the recent performances of Manchester City,I can conclude that Rodri is the most important player to Manchester City.Some persons used to say it's Debruyne,but it is very obvious now that City can even do without the so called Debruyne,because while he was absent due to injury,City were still winning games back to back having Rodri in the team,but the absence of Rodri exposes Manchester City's nakedness,and it has shown to other EPL team that if they can mark Rodri out of the field,they will gain control over City.
I can still go on to say that Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world currently,and with his statistics,we can conclude on that.I really love the young man,and I wish he was in my team.

Xabi Alonso's next team could be Real Madrid but I don't think so when it comes to Liverpool. Because Liverpool have already been doing amazing with Jürgen Klopp. This season they have made a big improvement as you have seen so far. If Liverpool have a successful season with Klopp I don't think they would think of parting ways with him.

Besides he still has a contract until 2026. Liverpool want to have a longer relationship with him obviously. But Real Madrid is a realistic candidate for Xabi Alonso even for next summer. Because Ancelotti is leaving for Brazil national team so they will need to bring someone.
Alonso has a close relationship with Real Madrid and if he wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen maybe Real Madrid is where he will go. So far Bayer Leverkusen have not talked much about Alonso's future because he is still quite needed there. It's been a pretty good season for Alonso in charge of Bayer Leverkusen and so far they are unbeaten in all competitions, so efforts will be made by Bayer Leverkusen to maintain him until next season.

Liverpool have Jurgen Klopp who has currently shown significant improvement from last season and as you said they have had a good season with Jurgen Klopp at the moment. So it is impossible for Liverpool to replace the coach if Jurgen Klopp can bring Liverpool to a much better finish and be able to win the European League this season.
Jorghen Klopp is one manager that Liverpool may not want to sack just like that,i mean he hasn't done anything that deserves sack.His team did poorly last season,but this season,they are really ready to hit the ground running,they have done well in the couple of games played so far.Furthermore,Joghen Klopp is aiming to bring back Liverpool to where it was three seasons ago where they were one of the best teams in Europe,he still has that energy to make this current Liverpool team get to the spot they deserve.If Jorghen Klopp is to leave Liverpool,I think it would be on a ground that he wants to retire,but for Liverpool to sack him any time soon,I don't think it's possible.
