Xabi Alonso lasted just half a season at Real Madrid before he was sacked in January. Denis Doyle/Getty Images - Xabi Alonso is one of three managers Chelsea are keen to hold talks with to replace Liam Rosenior, according to The Sun. Fulham's Marco Silva and AFC Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola are reported to be the other two names on their immediate radar. Alonso is unemployed after he was sacked at Real Madrid in January, while Iraola will leave Bournemouth this summer. Silva could also be a free agent at the end of the season, as he is yet to sign a new deal at Fulham.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's resident scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen outlines Robert Lewandowski's situation at Barcelona this summer.
Arguably world football's defining No. 9 striker of the past decade, the Poland international has netted almost 600 goals in his career, and with 12 league titles and a UEFA Champions League title in his cabinet, he remains one of the most decorated players of the modern era. Though his mobility has diminished with age, his positioning and his technique are as good as ever -- as proven by his 17 goals in all competitions this season.
Lewandowski will have plenty of options should he leave Camp Nou this summer, with clubs from Major League Soccer, the Saudi Pro League and Turkish Super Lig repeatedly linked with him. But the real question is whether he still sees himself in one of Europe's top five leagues? Barcelona have reportedly offered him a contract extension, while Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan have been rumored to be interested.
However, staying at Barcelona feels the most likely outcome. If that doesn't happen and he wishes to remain at the elite end of European football, AC Milan would be the next-best alternative for his skillset.
