Former Spain midfielder, Xabi Alonso, is waiting in the wings to replace Arne Slot as Liverpool manager at the end of this season, BILD reports.

The Reds have put up a poor defence of their Premier League title, which Slot won in his first season by 10 points.

They are currently in fifth place, 21 points off league leaders Arsenal and this leaves the Dutchman’s future untenable beyond the summer.

It is understood the club’s hierarchy are reluctant to make any changes now, as they are competing on two fronts.

Liverpool faces Manchester City in the FA Cup and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Alonso was fired at Real Madrid earlier this year, but senior officials at Anfield want their former midfielder to be the man to lead a summer overhaul.

Barcelona is considering Victor Osimhen as an alternative to Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, DAILY POST reports.

Alvarez is the Blaugurana’s number one target to replace Robert Lewandowski this summer.

Atlético Madrid are not expected to sanction Alvarez’s sale, with Antoine Griezmann impending summer departure.

Osimhen is on Barcelona radar, according to Barcelona Universal.

The Nigeria international is currently regarded as one of the leading marksman in the world.

The 27-year-old has scored 56 goals in 70 appearances since his arrival at Galatasaray.

It will take a big fee for Fernabache to consider selling the striker, who they signed for €75m from Napoli.

Nasarawa United management have been warned against sabotaging the efforts of the team.

The state governor, Abdullahi Sule, made the warning during a visit to the players on Tuesday.

There were reports of crowd troubles during Nasarawa United’s clash with Rivers United at the Lafia City Stadium on Monday.

Sule frowned at the report of the incident and vowed to take drastic action against any individual found to be guilty of the action.

“Yesterday, I received an unpleasant news about our top-ranking officials disputing the pages during our game against Rivers United,” Sule was quoted by the club’s media during his visit.

“It’s quite unfortunate, and I won’t tolerate that, whatsoever and whoever is involved, We cannot continue to put in our best as a team and State, and some people, perhaps, because of their selfish and personal interests, will engage in what would make the league body begin to deduct our points or punish our team.

“Let me make it very clear to anyone that cares to read between the lines that the day our darling teams, Nasarawa United or Nasarawa Amazons, are deducted points or punished as a result of some set of people, with vested interests, undermining our progress, that day, I will take a drastic action on whoever it is behind it.”
