Xabi Alonso was in a complete slump at Real Madrid, but he was the manager who saved Arda Güler from the bench after he was demoted along with Ancelotti. He put him on the pitch and brought out the best version of the young Turk so far. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Spanish director is trying to bring him into a new project.
This rumor is closely linked to the possibility of Xabi Alonso joining Liverpool, the club where he shined as a footballer. Taking advantage of the poor performance of Arne Slott, who is not even close to replacing Jurgen Klopp, could lead to the start of a new project and a new era under Xavi, without Mohamed Salah, the best attacking footballer of recent decades.
Will Arda Goulart still play for Liverpool next season?
There is still no formal offer, especially since Xabi Alonso’s arrival at Liverpool needs to be confirmed first. However, according to information from “TEAMTalk”, there are four players requested by manager Xavi, including a midfielder from Real Madrid.
In addition to Arda Gleyre, the Spanish coach will ask the board to sign Marc Poubil, Yann Diomande and Anthony Gordon.
How would Arda Goulart fit in at Liverpool?
Gular is far from being a replacement for Mohamed Salah, as he is just starting his career and is in a different position. However, given that the latter two are far from the level they showed at their previous clubs, they could fit well into a tactical scheme alongside Ekitike, Isak and Wirtz. The signings of Gordon and Diomande are therefore being considered to add depth to the bench and allow Liverpool to regain their reputation in the Premier League.
However, Guller’s departure appears to be complicated by his contract until 2029, and the high price tag poses a difficult hurdle for Liverpool to overcome after spending big on transfers in recent years.
At the moment, Goulart is an important player for Real Madrid and one of their main bets on the future, so it looks like a record sum will be required for Xabi Alonso to be able to coach him again at Anfield.
