Liverpool sacked Arne Slot today after a disappointing Premier League title defense that left the Reds fifth and struggling to secure Champions League football.

Reports initially made it clear that Liverpool’s ownership planned to stand by the Dutchman. But this has not proven to be the case, with FSG believing a change in direction was necessary.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Ierola is now favorite to take the Liverpool hotseat. He has a close relationship with sporting director Richard Hughes From his time at Bournemouth.

A report earlier this month indicated he was at the top of Liverpool’s shortlist as a result. Reports from England also say the same, while Hawkins also confirms that information.

But, according to their information, Liverpool’s management also appreciates Pierre Saez at Lens. Even though his appointment has not yet taken place, Liverpool’s ’employment representatives’ met him in Lens at the end of January. He did this with the approval of the French club.

This suggests that despite reports to the contrary, Liverpool have been looking to replace Arne Slott for some time.

Sage has enjoyed an excellent debut season in charge of the French club, culminating in his selection as manager of the Ligue 1 season after guiding them to second place and Coupe de France success.

All this has been achieved despite Lens cutting its wage bill by 40%. He also spent the season selling stars such as Facundo Edion and Andy Diouf. He is now on Liverpool’s list, although they could put pressure on Areola once the slot is gone.

Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario and Aston Villa’s Emi Martínez have not had an easy last few months at their clubs.

sports witness Italy’s interest in the Azzurri goalkeeper has been covered. Inter Milan and Juventus are admirers of his profile and initial contact has also been suggested.

In January, Martínez was Joined together The Nerazzurri appeared keen on a move to Serie A, even though a deal never materialized when the cost became apparent.

It now appears that the Tottenham player’s future could be linked to the Aston Villa veteran.

Martínez as substitute for Vicario

IT migration market Report on Inter’s plans to replace Yann Sommer in the summer.

He believes the Tottenham goalkeeper appeals to CEO Beppe Marotta. There has been some progress with their squad but the real problem is their age and evaluation profile.

They don’t want to go over €25 million to sign him, Spurs could demand more than that. Inter believe this could be enough for the 29-year-old player.

That’s why Marotta will soon be asking permission from the club’s Oaktree ownership.

Meanwhile, Martínez is being looked at as an option. The outlet says the Argentinian goalkeeper was offered to the Italian giants in January and was the reason behind the link during the winter window.

The only problem for the World Cup winner is his age and Aston Villa will not let him depart for free in the summer. His contract at Villa Park expires in 2029, meaning a deal would cost some money, with Martínez’s wages at €3m a year – possibly after tax – also causing concern.

Our opinion on Vicario and Martínez

Both goalkeepers are nearing the end of their tenures at their respective clubs.

Vicario will clearly have more suitors in Italy, as he performed quite well during his time at Empoli. Furthermore, he is close to becoming the Azzurri’s back-up to Gianluigi Donnarumma and that helps his situation.

Martínez is older and, at 33, a new challenge in Serie A, especially on higher wages, could prove risky for contenders.
