.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\nThe German midfielder also looked ahead to the future of how the Reds could line up under Arne Slot as Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk continue to be linked with their moves away from Anfield.<\/span><\/p>\nHamann also considered the future of Jadon Sancho amid reports that Chelsea will not seek to sign him permanently, and commented on whether Hugo Etikite could give Ruben Amorim\u2019s side the cutting edge it needs up front.<\/span><\/p>\nWith the Champions League in full swing, the former Liverpool and Newcastle United star also set out how he can see the tournament unfolding, including an exciting final showdown at the end of the season.<\/span><\/p>\nRead the full interview below.<\/span><\/p>\nMohamed Salah to Bayern Munich would be very exciting \u2013 I love to see it<\/b><\/p>\n
Mohamed Salah to Bayern Munich would be very exciting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBayern have Kingsley Coman, who hasn\u2019t been the best recently, Leroy Sane looks set to leave the club, the most impressive has been Michael Olise who signed last summer, so I think they need two or three wide players for next season.<\/span><\/p>\nJust like bringing Harry Kane to the club, it would be hugely exciting to see Salah at Bayern but also for the Bundesliga to have a player like Salah. Even if it was just for one or two years, I would absolutely love to see it.<\/span><\/p>\nVirgil van Dijk at Bayern Munich? They should see what\u2019s possible<\/b><\/p>\n
Virgil van Dijk to Bayern? There are not many teams that he wouldn\u2019t improve. The longer the contract wait goes on the more offers he will have, there will be five or six clubs knocking on his door already.<\/span><\/p>\nBayern Munich have had a few issues defensively, but they’re pretty solid at the moment. Having said that, if he\u2019s available, it\u2019ll be about if he sees himself in Munich or Milan or wherever.<\/span><\/p>\nAll big clubs including Bayern will have to see what\u2019s possible because there are not many teams who wouldn’t improve with him in the side.<\/span><\/p>\nTrent Alexander-Arnold might only get one chance to join Real Madrid in his career<\/b><\/p>\n
If Trent Alexander-Arnold is going to leave Liverpool, I don\u2019t know why he and the club haven\u2019t come out to explain the situation. I’d be very surprised if he hadn’t made his mind up by now.<\/span><\/p>\nI think that because he could get another injury which rules him out for the season and that will impact contract talks with both Liverpool and Real Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\nI don\u2019t think there is any reason to keep his plans a secret, he looks the most likely to go and you might only get a chance to join Real Madrid once in your career so I don\u2019t think you can blame him.<\/span><\/p>\nTrent Alexander-Arnold incredible range is perfect for Real Madrid<\/b><\/p>\n
Real Madrid like to have the ball and I think Trent Alexander-Arnold fits into any team, lots has been made of his defensive deficiencies but his passing range is incredible and that would suit their forwards perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\nHe gives you so much going forward so you just have to put up with his defending and Real Madrid are probably the perfect team for that.<\/span><\/p>\nLiverpool target Xavi Simons reminds me of Philippe Coutinho<\/b><\/p>\n
I think Xavi Simons is ready to join a club like Liverpool. He pretty much carries that RB Leipzig team and has done so well, you\u2019d just have to think about his position.<\/span><\/p>\nHe plays in an advanced role at the moment, so would need Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister behind or beside him.<\/span><\/p>\nI think he is already and I\u2019d say he is a similar player to Philippe Coutinho, which makes you think about how he left the club, but Simons is ready to play for a big club.<\/span><\/p>\nThere’s a chance Leipzig won’t get in the Champions League which would have an impact too, he is a brilliant player with great feet, an eye for goal and brings his team-mates into play.<\/span><\/p>\nLiverpool don\u2019t have a creator like him, it\u2019s probably something they lack, they are very physical and have pace but the most similar player to Simons is probably Curtis Jones. He would certainly improve them.<\/span><\/p>\nLiverpool can rely on Andy Robertson \u2013 he\u2019s still among the best<\/b><\/p>\n
Andy Roberson has been the best left back now for the last six or seven years in the Premier League, he\u2019s 31 now but you don\u2019t sit so far clear at the top of the table with a bad left-back.<\/span><\/p>\nI still think he’s doing a very good job. He was a bit unfortunate at the start of the season where he was at fault for one or two goals and got sent off, but I think he’s come back very well.<\/span><\/p>\nHe’s a player you can always rely on, he has said himself that Liverpool have been linked to every left-back in Europe over the last 18 months which shows his sense of humour and his awareness of what it means to play for Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\nI wouldn’t have a problem if Liverpool went into next season with Robertson starting. I still think he’s one of the best left backs out there and we shouldn’t forget how high he’s pushed the bar over the last six or seven seasons because I think he’s been the best left back and he’s still up there.<\/span><\/p>\nLiverpool need to keep an eye on MIlos Kerkez<\/b><\/p>\n
Liverpool have been linked to MIlos Kerkez and they should see what is out there. Andy Roberstson could show him the ropes which would be the ideal situation, but sometimes it doesn\u2019t work like that.<\/span><\/p>\nHe would cost money and would want to play, it\u2019s also different playing for a team like Bournemouth than it is for Liverpool. Having said that, he is certainly a very talented player and one for Liverpool to keep an eye on.<\/span><\/p>\nSerhou Guirassy \u2018tailor-made\u2019 for Arsenal \u2013 he would make a difference straight away<\/b><\/p>\n
Serhou Guirassy is scoring goals in a very inconsistent Borussia Dortmund team, he has 10 already in the Champions League.<\/span><\/p>\nI thought he was tailor-made for Arsenal last summer as a physical player with pace, but he is 29 now.<\/span><\/p>\nI’m not saying time is running out for him, but for a centre forward, I think once you pass 30, you’re probably not going to get any better.<\/span><\/p>\nI think he would have been tailor-made for Arsenal for around \u00a325million, maybe he was seen as too cheap for what Arsenal needed but I think he could have made a big difference for them like he makes a difference for Dortmund now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHe isn\u2019t a young player but he would go in and make a difference straight away. He won\u2019t take much time to adapt and he is very good on the ball and linking up with team-mates, he is a team player.<\/span><\/p>\nI\u2019m not sure if Arsenal will take that chance, but with Dortmund looking set to miss out on the Champions League, he could be an option.<\/span><\/p>\nJorrel Hato has the world at his feet \u2013 he\u2019s on the radar of a lot of clubs<\/b><\/p>\n
Jorrel Hato is a physical player who is comfortable on the ball and he can play at both left back and centre back. We know how scarce left footed centre backs are.<\/span><\/p>\nHe’s certainly a player who’s got a world at his feet. He might get a big move if he wants it but Ajax look like they’re going to win the league in Holland so he’ll probably play in the Champions League next year.<\/span><\/p>\nI think he wants to stay for one more season, but he’s a player on the radar of a lot of clubs right now.<\/span><\/p>\nJobe Bellingham should snub Premier League interest for perfect club<\/b><\/p>\n
For Jobe Bellingham, Borussia Dortmund is the club with a record of helping players improve to the level they want to reach.<\/span><\/p>\nYou just have to look at Erling Haaland as well as his brother Jude Bellingham, Ousmane Dembele and even Alexander Isak for a time.<\/span><\/p>\nYou have Jamie Gittens now, they have brought so many players through and I think Jude\u2019s move to Dortmund was very shrewd from the Championship at such a young age<\/span><\/p>\nIt would be similar for Jobe and I\u2019d recommend that he didn\u2019t go and join any of the big boys because you could end up sitting on the bench for a season, Jude went to Dortmund and played and became one of the best midfielders in the world.<\/span><\/p>\nI don\u2019t know where Jobe will go, but I\u2019d be surprised if it\u2019s to a big team in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\nManchester United linked Hugo Etikite is the best striker in Germany<\/b><\/p>\n
Hugo Etikite has been linked to Manchester United and he is brilliant.<\/span><\/p>\nObviously Manchester City took his partner in crime in Omar Marmoush, they linked up so well together.<\/span><\/p>\nBut Etikite has everything, he\u2019s good on the ball, he\u2019s quick, he\u2019s tall, he is one of the best, if not the best striker in the Bundesliga at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\nHe is very young and has improved his all round game, he is leading the Frankfurt attack and showing he is a brilliant player.<\/span><\/p>\nJadon Sancho could be back at Borussia Dortmund in a heartbeat<\/b><\/p>\n
Borussia Dortmund might just be looking at Jadon Sancho because although it started well at Chelsea, it looks like it hasn\u2019t worked out.<\/span><\/p>\nIt looks like Chelsea might pay millions to send him back to Manchester United, so it looks like he might be an option for Dortmund this summer.<\/span><\/p>\nThey tried to keep him last summer but it wasn\u2019t possible, I think he wants to go back. Dortmund wouldn\u2019t be struggling like they are if he had stayed, he has been absolutely brilliant for them.<\/span><\/p>\nHe took Dortmund to the Champions League final last season and I think they would have him in a heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\nHarry Kane could go another season without trophy \u2013 stranger things have happened<\/b><\/p>\n
You have to give Harry Kane credit, he scores so many goals even if he sometimes doesn\u2019t take too much part in the game.<\/span><\/p>\nWe are in the business end of the season and he scored twice against Leverkusen, he will need to do that again against Inter if he wants to progress in the Champions League.<\/span><\/p>\nIn the league they’re going strong. They’re six points clear and he gets the goals. Would somebody else do a better job? I do not know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nObviously he’s cost a lot of money and been bought to score these goals. Now they are in the quarter-final and could potentially go further, whether he can do that the jury is still out for me.<\/span><\/p>\nThe bottom line is that he does score an awful lot of goals and he’s probably the most important player for Bayern.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen it comes to winning his first trophy, I’m not sure Leverkusen are capable of winning all their games which they probably need to do in order to win the Bundesliga.<\/span><\/p>\nBut Leverkusen have no European games and Bayern Munich have, Manuel Neuer is probably out for a few more weeks now with his calf problem. So who knows?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI don’t think it’ll happen, but stranger things have happened in football.<\/span><\/p>\nIgnore the rumours \u2013 I can\u2019t see Harry Kane at Liverpool<\/b><\/p>\n
I cannot see Harry Kane at Liverpool, despite the rumours. He’s quite settled here in Munich. I don’t think they’ve got any interest in selling him and I’m not sure whether he wants to go to the north of England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI think if he does go back, he’s probably playing for a London club. I can’t really see him at Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\nWhether Thomas Tuchel should\u2019ve criticised Gareth Southgate I don\u2019t know<\/b><\/p>\n
Thomas Tuchel has been open about how he feels, whether he should say it as a new manager I don’t know, but he’s straight talking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThat probably puts even more pressure on him in his job but if he can take it that pressure then fair play to him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHe said after the game that the wingers he wasn’t too happy with. What you see is what you get. He says it how it is and I think it served him well in his career so far and he’s not going to stop.<\/span><\/p>\nGerman fans wish Thomas Tuchel well \u2013 but didn\u2019t think the England job was possible<\/b><\/p>\n
German fans wish Thomas Tuchel well, but they wouldn\u2019t if he came up against Germany in the World Cup.<\/span><\/p>\nHe has done a brilliant job at Chelsea, PSG, Mainz and Dortmund, he has won trophies and he has support, the German people are just surprised that England chose a German manager.<\/span><\/p>\nWe didn\u2019t think that was possible, it probably wasn\u2019t a few years ago, but fans here wish him well.<\/span><\/p>\nWe could eventually see an English boss in charge of Germany<\/b><\/p>\n
I thought Germany could appoint a Dutch manager, but an Englishman? I don\u2019t think so.<\/span><\/p>\nProbably not, but then again, the question is whether we have a foreigner at some stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI think at some stage we will have one and if there’s a good Englishman out there, why not?<\/span><\/p>\nArsenal should sign Leroy Sane \u2013 but not on a normal contract<\/b><\/p>\n
Leroy Sane\u2019s consistency has been a problem with Bayern Munich. This is why he probably won’t get offered a new contract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, I think if you give him a performance-based contract, you\u2019d have a brilliant player on your hands. That’s what I would do. I heard that Arsenal are interested and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if that’s the case.<\/span><\/p>\nI think he’s a good kid. I think some people read too much into body language, if you look at Lionel Messi’s body language you think he’s a non-league player.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSo I don’t give too much thought to that, I think he’s a good kid. The fact is he’s not been consistent enough, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be for Arsenal next season.<\/span><\/p>\nJeremie Frimpong is a good option to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool<\/b><\/p>\n
I was surprised that nobody signed Jeremie Frimpong last summer for around \u00a340million, there was an option and nobody took it, but he is a brilliant player.<\/span><\/p>\nHe has lots of pace, he scores and sets up goals, he is a very modern player and he would do a great job in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\nHe is more of a wing-back than a full-back, but he would be a great player for Liverpool to have, he\u2019d give another option outside of Mohamed Salah who likes to cut in on his left foot.<\/span><\/p>\nEvery team needs pace and he has certainly got it, he would be a good option for Liverpool if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Premier League is too big a step for Nicolas Kuhn — I see him at Frankfurt<\/b><\/p>\n
For Nicolas Kuhn, I think the Premier League would be too big a step up from Scotland, I think moving to Germany would be the best move for him.<\/span><\/p>\nI think a team like Frankfurt would suit him, they have shown that they can improve players and they play good football, they have done well in Europe too.<\/span><\/p>\nI think Frankfurt would be a great option for Nicolas Kuhn.<\/span><\/p>\nLiverpool should keep an eye on Nico Schlotterbeck\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Borussia Dortmund are struggling this season and will probably miss out on the Champions League, so I think they will have to sell players.<\/span><\/p>\nJamie Gittens has dropped off a bit, but is still a hugely talented player that I am a big fan of. Nico Schlotterbeck is a player I think Liverpool could look at, he is a left-footed centre back that is good on the ball and has a bit of pace.<\/span><\/p>\nHe has been one of their best players this season and he is a player to keep an eye on.<\/span><\/p>\nI can see a PSG vs Bayern Munich Champions League final \u2013 with one winner<\/b><\/p>\n
I had a feeling that PSG would knock Liverpool out of the Champions League and I think they are the most in-form team in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\nI think they are on the tougher side of the draw, but PSG will take care of Aston Villa and then have enough to beat Arsenal and Real Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\nI think it could end up being PSG vs Bayern Munich in Munich, will PSG winning it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Didi Hamann has called on Trent Alexander-Arnold to seize the opportunity of joining Real Madrid […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":195,"featured_media":81719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","vebbtech_seo_disable_yoast":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_author":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_date":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_factchecker":false,"vebbtech_seo_fact_check_enabled":false,"vebbtech_seo_post_reviewer":81,"vebbtech_seo_post_review_date":"2025-03-25T12:23","footnotes":""},"categories":[283],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-81710","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-interviews"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
