Tottenham Hotspur's Ange Postecoglou 'to reject any Liverpool approach this summer'

sportsmole.co.uk, 5 March 2024, 15:55
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is reportedly prepared to reject any approaches for his services in the summer, including from Liverpool.

The 58-year-old made the switch from Scottish Premiership champions Celtic to North London ahead of the 2023-24 term, hoping to revive a Spurs side who had just missed out on European football all together last campaign.

Under the stewardship of Postecoglou, the Lilywhites have enjoyed a productive season so far, currently sitting fifth in the Premier League standings, five points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.

As well as Unai Emery's men having played a game more than Spurs in the pursuit of a top-four finish, it might be the case that a top-five standing is good enough for next season's Champions League due to the new format of the competition.

According to Football Insider, Postecoglou is set to reject any offers for his signature ahead of the 2024-25 campaign following a good start to life in the English capital.

The report claims that the Australian is fully committed to the project at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as his side chase down a Champions League spot.

It is understood that Postecoglou is "happy and comfortable" in North London and greatly appreciates the backing he has received from the Spurs hierarchy, including chairman Daniel Levy.

Therefore, the former Celtic boss has no intention of departing for another managerial role in the summer, even if Liverpool come knocking for his services.

It is believed that the Anfield club are admirers of Postecoglou, with the 58-year-old supposedly an option to replace Jurgen Klopp on Merseyside for next season.

The Lilywhites boss recently revealed that he is a big fan of the Reds, however it is understood that he is not wishing for a move to Liverpool this summer.

With Klopp's nine-year stay at Anfield drawing to a close, Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is said to be Liverpool's leading candidate to replace the German.

However, as the former Liverpool midfielder navigates through a Bundesliga campaign with Leverkusen undefeated after 24 matches, he has understandably caught the eye of a number of top clubs.

It is believed that Bayern Munich have held positive talks with Alonso over taking the reigns at the Allianz Arena, following news that Thomas Tuchel will be leaving at the end of the current campaign.

Postecoglou and Spurs are in the midst of preparations for an important match in the top-four race on Sunday afternoon, when the Lilywhites will face Aston Villa in the Second City.
