Guardiola Exit Sparks Alonso Bidding War Between Man City and Real Madrid!

Tuesday’s Paper Round has sent shockwaves throughout the football world with the revelation that Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has caught the attention of both Manchester City and Real Madrid.

However, the speculated interest from Manchester City is heavily dependent on the future of Pep Guardiola, who has been the club’s manager since 2016.

According to reports, Manchester City are keeping tabs on Alonso as a potential replacement for Guardiola, if he decides to part ways with the club.

On the other hand, Real Madrid’s interest in Alonso is reportedly not conditional on any managerial departures, as they see the Bayer Leverkusen boss as a valuable asset in their bid to strengthen their squad.

As the managerial merry-go-round continues to gather pace, another top-flight manager whose future is uncertain is Julen Lopetegui.

The West Ham manager has been the subject of intense speculation, with many believing that his time at the London Stadium may be drawing to a close.

The Guardian has weighed in on Lopetegui’s situation, suggesting that the writing may be on the wall for the under-fire manager.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are at the heart of another controversy, this time related to an emergency Premier League meeting scheduled for Tuesday.

Details of the meeting have been scarce, but many are speculating that it may have something to do with Manchester City’s most recent exploits in the Premier League.

Elsewhere, football fans in the United States have been given a massive boost with the announcement that Barcelona are set to take on Atletico Madrid in a highly-anticipated clash in Miami.
