Liverpool make contact with agents of Slot replacement, Reds star will be very happy

Liverpool are said to have opened talks with Xabi Alonso’s representatives, sparking speculation over a possible managerial change.

It remains to be seen whether the club would be willing to bring in the 44-year-old before the season ends. This campaign has fallen well short of expectations for the reigning Premier League champions, with their title defence unraveling despite heavy spending in the summer. Instead of pushing on, Liverpool have struggled for consistency and are now battling simply to secure a top-four finish.

Could Alonso replace Arne Slot?
Failure to qualify for the Champions League would be a huge blow for Liverpool, and questions are growing over whether decisive action is needed to rescue the season. Arne Slot has been unable to get consistent performances from his squad, with the team frequently second best and showing little sign of improvement in recent weeks. That lack of progress may force the club’s hierarchy to consider a change.

Alonso is currently without a job after leaving Real Madrid, and reports from Fichajes suggest early discussions with his agent have been encouraging. Liverpool are said to be monitoring the situation closely as it develops.

The Spaniard built a strong reputation during his time at Bayer Leverkusen and also showed promise at Real Madrid, underlining his credentials as one of the brightest managerial talents of his generation. He could prove to be an inspired appointment at Anfield.

His potential arrival would also be welcomed by summer signing Florian Wirtz. Alonso was instrumental in the midfielder’s rise at Leverkusen, helping him reach new levels. With Wirtz already showing signs of improvement, a reunion with the Spanish coach could further accelerate his development.
