It’s good for Germany that there are direct duels between the Bundesliga and the Premier League in the rounds of the top eight in Europe. FC Bayern will encounter Arsenal in the Champions League, Leverkusen will confront West Ham just after the Londoners’ victory around Freiburg.
The Bundesliga is in 2nd location in Uefa’s decisive one particular-yr ranking and is shaking for its fifth beginning position in the Champions League for the reason that England (third place) is catching up. 5 Premier League clubs are in the international quarter-finals (Arsenal, Guy Metropolis, Liverpool, West Ham, Aston Villa).
Germany only has three teams left in the race: FC Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen. So be cautious, expensive England: Bayern and Leverkusen want to do away with your golf equipment! But it is also intriguing for you: You can see two coaches, Xabi Alonso and Thomas Tuchel, who you want to deliver into the Leading League up coming season…
BAYER LEVERKUSEN
Xabi Alonso stays silent about his foreseeable future. Fewer and less believe that it will be Liverpool FC. FC Bayern is also even now waiting around for a signal from Alonso. Leverkusen officers continue being adamant that Alonso will go on to be their mentor subsequent season. There is now a rumour: Alonso is remaining in Leverkusen to become Carlo Ancelotti’s successor at Serious Madrid. Ancelotti has prolonged his deal with Real Madrid until eventually 2026. Alonso’s agreement in Leverkusen is legitimate for just as prolonged. Alonso, who also only prolonged his deal in the summer season, could keep on being loyal to his club – and then return to his residence place of Spain.
FC BAYERN
I lately sat with Max Eberl, FC Bayern’s new sports activities director, for an hour and a half. In Munich, the supporters keep on to hope that Eberl will consider out Jürgen Klopp soon after all. Bayern needs a successor for Thomas Tuchel, who will go away early in the summer months. But: Eberl will not decide up the cellphone for Klopp. Eberl informed me: “I know what it means when you make statements like Kloppo, who explained: ‘I have no power left.’ Number of individuals can judge that better than me, since I’ve been by means of it. That’s why I won’t get in touch with him.” Eberl had expert burnout and experienced to stop as manager of Mönchengladbach. He also taken off Sebastian Hoeneß, coach of VfB Stuttgart, from the list of candidates due to the fact Hoeneß extended his contract with VfB. But attention-grabbing: Eberl claims there are a lot more than 4 candidates on his checklist. Xabi Alonso is recognized and is the desired prospect. But: He also did not rule out Roberto de Zerbi from Brighton and José Mourinho. The identify de Zerbi is certainly hotter at the moment than Mourinho. Antonio Conte, who has been out of administration due to the fact 2023 next his departure from Tottenham, is also on Bayern’s checklist.
As far as players are anxious, Manchester United has to get ready for a poker video game with FC Bayern. The Munich group is especially fascinated in Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. Erik ten Hag also wants to bring his compatriot to Manchester United. The correct-back has a release clause of €40m. I listened to that Frimpong could think about a move to Munich. Due to the fact: There was already a solution assembly with the player in a Cologne resort in the earlier. At that time, Frimpong would have agreed to a improve. On the other hand, Bayern opted for Noussair Mazraoui at the time mainly because the participant from Ajax Amsterdam was accessible for free of charge.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Jadon Sancho is acquiring greater and superior. Most not too long ago he scored from Bremen and Eindhoven. The club looked up previous info from the archives to review Sancho’s stats from his initially time at Dortmund. His teaching system will then be modified. Sports activities director Sebastian Kehl is really content with Sancho. Which is why he desires to discuss to Manchester United in May possibly. The goal: an additional personal loan. But there is also a system B: Donyell Malen is now participating in in his greatest form considering the fact that he joined Dortmund. Manchester United are fascinated in him. Dortmund would give him away. A swap offer would be probable. Great for Dortmund: Arsenal FC and Liverpool FC are also interested in the Dutchman.
RB LEIPZIG
Timo Werner nonetheless has a contract with RB Leipzig until eventually 2026. He would like to remain in London at Tottenham outside of the summer season. But will the Spurs also choose action? The club has a acquire choice really worth €17m in the loan settlement. Exciting: Tottenham has to pull the clause by June 14th – right up until the start off of the European Championship!
Leipzig sporting activities director Rouven Schröder believed something about the early Werner deadline: Leipzig absolutely wants to have scheduling safety ahead of the European Championship. Also clever: If Tottenham do not just take advantage of the obtain option, which is very low by English requirements, Schröder and Werner nonetheless have sufficient time until the conclusion of the transfer window (September 2nd) to see what happens following. With a sale, Leipzig would virtually have recouped the transfer rate (€20m) compensated to Chelsea in 2021.
