I read my favorit channels that talked about the transfer rumor. Yet i was seeing the presenter talked about Chelsea who has sent someone to pursue Xabi as their manager. This is a very interesting rumor. We know Chelsea in the need of a new coach, and i think Xabi is gonna be a good one as their manager.
Chelsea is not Madrid. Hypothetical they can work better tactically, and it can fit Xabi's tactical plan well. I will be genuinely shocked if they can get him as their new manager while there was also a rumor he was waiting for Liverpool's job.

Over the last five years, Chelsea has undergone more squad overhauls than it has spent on signing players. If the team’s identity is distorted and the older players who form the backbone of the dressing room are sold off or given away, then, in my opinion, Chelsea needs a couple of years under a charismatic manager who can get into the players’ heads – people like Mourinho, Klopp or Guardiola. These are the sort of managers Chelsea needs right now to rebuild the team first and foremost.

I think Xabi Alonso is still a good choice in the current age of managers, if he can get the support from the management, and opportunity Enzo Maresca and even Mauricio Pochettino never had.

Jose Mourinho, Klopp and Pep Guardiola are a good candidate but only Mourinho that can be more likely the others are not going to tarnish the image they have built in England for this. Jose Mourinho is also getting interest for Real Madrid including Klopp according to transfer rumours we don't know who will end up going for it but if both Chelsea and Real Madrid call Jose Mourinho he might be in a difficult position to pick between two lovers.

José Mourinho? At Chelsea? Again? Come on, he is done, he still manages teams like he did 20 years ago, he is a great motivator but he never changed a bit of how he plays, he never really evolved, he always sticks to what he's been doing. And Guardiola is not even an option for Chelsea, it looks like he wants to step back a bit, like managing a national team, I don't see why he should swap City for Chelsea.

José Mourinho should stick to weak and middle table teams because he can improve them, otherwise in top teams he cannot added more in my opinion.
For Guardiola, he will make a mistake managing another team in Premier League, he better move to Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain because the margin of progress will be noticeable there. Of course managing a national football team after the FIFA World Cup will be very interesting for him.

I agree about Mourinho; I disagree about what you said about the other Guardiola: I really don't see Guardiola ever coaching Real Madrid because he is a Barcelona guy, I highly doubt he would ever betray his club. And, about PSG, why should they fire Luis Enrique? He has been winning every single trophy, replacing a winning coach would be stupid.

In my opinion, Xabi wouldn't accept Chelsea's offer to manage them if the rumors were true. Xabi certainly wouldn't want to manage Liverpool's rivals in the Premier League. Furthermore, Xabi deeply respects Liverpool, as he's a Liverpool legend, and he sincerely hopes to become their coach. Furthermore, Liverpool are likely to fire Arne Slot due to their dissatisfaction with Slot's performance this season. So, if Liverpool were to offer him a job, I'm sure Xabi would accept it without further consideration, as he's long wanted to return to Liverpool as a coach.

This is an interesting transfer rumor to learn of concerning Chelsea and Xabi Alonso. I just wish it would turn out to be true for Chelsea to experience a good coach like Xabi in their team with the young quality players they have.

Chelsea shouldn't lose Xabi if this is true, and they want to come top of the Premier League table for next season, to challenge Manchester City, and Arsenal for the Premier League trophy

Chelsea is getting closer to get him. The only problem is that he wants full control over his club and transfer decision. So it's gonna be a tough decision for Chelsea. It's caused by we know how harsh Chelsea's management in doing intervention in their club.
So it looks like a big wall that may probably gated him from joining Chelsea. However, who knows Chelsea can fulfill his requirement, then he becomes their new coach next season.

Let's see what's further reaction to be showed by Chelsea's management. I'm sure they dislike Xabi's main erquirement.

Looking at his past at Real Madrid, he might no longer want to be a manager at the teams where he played as a footballer. Because he could leave behind bad memories as a manager at teams where he had great experiences as a player. Perhaps some things should stay where they were as a player. Of course, Liverpool is an important team in his heart, and everyone expects him to become a manager. However, the opportunities and contract offered by Chelsea might tempt him.

I’m not sure if Chelsea would be a good choice or a bad choice for Xabi Alonso... Chelsea has been in a terrible state in the league for a long time. If he went there and managed to lift them up a bit, even that could be seen as a success. But at this stage of his career, he has the opportunity to work with top-tier teams rather than mediocre ones. Chelsea might be a choice he should only make if the worst-case scenarios were to unfold. I don’t know; I think if I were in his shoes, Chelsea would be my third or fourth option at most...

Its not complicated at all. He is a great player but he is lazy and that was the reason he was struggling to get decent play minutes under Amorim before. He wants a way out from Manchester United thus he play with his best performance in Barcelona, give it a season or two then he will show you his true colour. He will revert back to the lazy ass attitude once he know that the club needs him

You're right, although things are different now with Carrick. This coach is leading MU to a very good position, making them win very well, and getting them back to their former glory. I think whether he stays in Barcelona or returns to MU, he'll do well, because with his style, I think he can shine wherever he chooses to stay or be. Carrick's work is impeccable, and considering that a son always returns home, it's all right.

Marcus Rashford seemed happy at Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona may not be able to afford his transfer. Manchester United, on the other hand, is undergoing a restructuring and is rediscovering its magnificent performances with Michael Carrick. Perhaps after this season's performance at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford might want to return to the team and become captain. In that case, there's no doubt he would play a significant role in the Champions League next year.

I might be wrong, but I don't think that this acquisition is going to be a good one because this Chelsea teams needs an experience manager that knows his job very well and how to navigate his way around pressure, not someone that will come in and start learning on the job. Chelsea might not have players that would be disrespecting him if he is hired, but the pressure at Chelsea is also on the same level as that of real madrid, so if he can't withstand pressure, especially when result are not coming forth, he might not even stay at the end of the season if he is eventually hired, so I don't think that this is a good choice by Chelsea hierarchy, if this news is true.

I think you may be wrong, because xabi Alonso is a experience coach and that why real madrid have interest to sigh him to manage the team. Is just that real madrid need a old coach that as won many trophies in is history. And if Chelsea can cooperate very well I get the believe he can do something in the club and get some trophy next season. Chelsea have good players in the team is just that they don't get good manger that can able to manage the team very well. Let see who will be the favorite for Chelsea next season as a coach. Xabi Alonso don't have any club managing and he will do all is best if Chelsea sigh him and win something for the club.

Barcelona wants less than €30 million to make Rashford permanent, they think €30 million does not match his performance, even though it is quite clear that Rashford has had a positive impact so far, in addition to Rashford agreeing to lower his salary if he stays at Barcelona, so it is clear that they don't really want this player, and with a situation like this it is much better for him to return to Man Utd, although he may not be able to get many opportunities like before because the Man Utd squad is now better.

Yeah! Agreed. And having read that, I don't know why the President of Real Madrid still negotiating with Jose Mourinho to bring him back as manager. I thought they had finished doing business with themselves but I am seeing just the opposite. Jose Mourinho to Chelsea and also to Real Madrid makes zero sense. He is currently outdated and should not be brought in. Pep Guardiola to Chelsea?! You all must see Pep to less and low.

I'm not sure Florentino Perez is actually talking with Mourinho, in my opinion is more like a press rumor because, at the end, Mourinho's name always sells. And since his contract with Benfica is expiring in a couple of months it's easy to write about it. Also, to be honest, there are not too many good managers available on the market at the moment so the options are actually limited.

And, about PSG, why should they fire Luis Enrique? He has been winning every single trophy, replacing a winning coach would be stupid.

I agree with you. PSG is doing great with Luis Enrique and it will be a dumb decision to replace Enrique Luis with Pep. Pep should go look for a team that's not stable at all so that, he can transform the team just like he did to Manchester City. Fate will decide for Pep in his next move since he will be leaving City by the end of this season.

Jose Mourinho is also getting interest for Real Madrid including Klopp according to transfer rumours we don't know who will end up going for it but if both Chelsea and Real Madrid call Jose Mourinho he might be in a difficult position to pick between two lovers.

Those candidates makes no sense. They're all still coaching their own clubs except Klopp who has also stated he's not going back to the coaching career again. So it's impossible to expect them to coach Chelsea or Madrid.

I meant it's delusional to think Chelsea or Madrid to appoint the name like mou because he's a washed coach when it comes to a competitive league.

The name like Xabi, Scaloni, Pochettino or even Desschamps make more sense to be linked with Chelsea and Madrid instead of Mou.

Wait, you said that pep guardiola transformed Manchester City? No.
They were already good and competitive before he came into the club in 2016.
Pelegrini and Mancini used Manchester City to win the English premier league title before he arrives, so it's wrong to make it looks like Manchester City wasn't good or competitive before the arrival of pep guardiola.
The difference was that he stay longer than the rest, that's why he won more titles, because if pellegrini especially was given such a long time to manage Manchester City, he would have used them to dominate the league as pep guardiola did.
Then as for PSG trying to replace Luis Enrique with pep guardiola, I don't think their is any truth in that because they are doing just fine with Luis Enrique, and pep guardiola is targeting jobs that are less stressful like the national teams, not managing club side that are always stressful.

Just give him a new contract man! I strongly believe Carrick has already proved what he is capable of. He has got amazing results in big games before anything else.

Besides if we start the time from his arrival at Manchester United, we can see that they are the team with the most number of points! If he came earlier they could have literally been in the title race now.

He did well with Bayern Leverkusen and he could still do the same with Chelsea. Real Madrid players are with big egos and he couldn't have control of the dressing room.
Whenever this handle post stuffs like this, I believe there's this level of truth in whatever he is saying. I honestly thought a move to Liverpool would be perfect but it didn't happen.

Since Xabi Alonso has showed interest in becoming the next manager of Chelsea, it's now the decision of Chelsea board if they will appoint him Chelsea manager when the season ends. Xabi Alonso is a good manager his at Bayer Leverkusen can speak for himself, and I won't blame him for not getting it right at Real Madrid because the players there weren't ready to work with him. But in Chelsea, I believe he will do similar thing he did at Bayer Leverkusen because Chelsea has good players, they need a good manager who can help them be at their best, and I think Xabi Alonso is one of the managers who can deliver that to Chelsea players.

Igor Thiago becomes the most underrated striker. He's the first brazillian striker that is ever scored more than 20 goals in EPL. That's why so many clubs are lining up to secure his signature. His performance is amazing at Brentford. I was also watching him frequently, and i can say he's quite consistent as a striker.

He could make even more than 30 goals if he was not missing so many big chances crated. This is why i think he's a striker that can work in a club with system. Recently, several clubs such as Juve, Chelsea, AC Milan and even Atletico Madrid are keeping their eyes on him.

This means he may be leaving from Brentford to step up his career. This current salary is around £75,000, and most probably to be doubled if he leaves from Brentford this summer.

Nevertheless, i put Atletico Madrid as the most prospect club for him to play. Chelsea is also ain't bad, but consider how terrible its management. So i think he has to find a club that can utilize him well.

Any opinion in what club he must play next?

I don't know if what I heard a while ago is the truth, haven't seen any official confirmation but I heard that Carrick has signed a new 3-year contract with Man Utd. It would be great if that really happened. After all he has brought a positive aura to Man utd in a short period of time, which surprised most people. Carrick will do a great job for next season and I'm glad Man Utd are back in UCL competition.
