Xabi Alonso is linked with a move to Liverpool, amid speculation over Arne Slott’s future.
Liverpool are currently in a difficult situation, struggling in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. Unsurprisingly, there is speculation that a Dutch manager will be appointed soon.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to be patient with him. If they decide to make a change, Alonso could be an interesting option for them. He was linked with a move to Liverpool before joining Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, the Spanish club had a mixed start to the season under his management. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to offer him an exit in the future.
Alonso is now open about the possibility of a move to Liverpool in the future (h/t Fabrizio Romano). The manager explained that although he has ties with the English club, he is currently happy at Real Madrid. However, he did not rule out the possibility of a move to a Premier League club in the future.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. Liverpool have quality players at their disposal, but they have not been able to perform at a high level. They spent a lot of money in the summer transfer window and were expected to fight for big trophies this season.
However, Slott hasn’t made the most of his contract and Liverpool have been underwhelming. I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to make a change soon. A club as prestigious as theirs should have fared better, but the Dutch manager will need to turn things around quickly if he wants to keep his job.
