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

Liverpool have reportedly made contact with the agents of Xabi Alonso.

It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to appoint the 44-year-old manager before the end of the season. It has been a disappointing season for the Premier League champions, and their title defence has not gone according to plan. Despite spending substantial sums during the summer window, they have struggled and are currently fighting for a place in the top four.

Liverpool to replace Arne Slot with Alonso?
Missing out on Champions League qualification would be devastating for Liverpool. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to make a change to salvage the season.

Arne Slot has not managed to get the best out of his players, and Liverpool have been outplayed quite often this season. There has been no sign of progress in recent weeks, and it would be ideal for the club hierarchy to consider a change.

Alonso is currently unemployed after being shown the door by Real Madrid. The report from Fichajesclaims that contact with the manager’s agent has been positive, and that Liverpool are now waiting patiently to see how the situation develops.

The 44-year-old has proven himself in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen, and Real Madrid did not do too badly under him either. There is no doubt that he is one of the most talented young managers in the game, and he could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Liverpool.

His arrival will certainly delight, summer signing, Florian Wirtz. Alonso played a key role in his development at the German club, bringing out the best in the midfielder. Wirtz has shown significant improvement in recent weeks, and the arrival of the Spanish manager could help him continue to develop

Liverpool Defensive Worries Deepen

Liverpool’s preparations for their crucial Champions League tie against Qarabag took an unexpected turn on Tuesday as Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konaté were both missing from training at the AXA Training Centre.

The Reds have already been hit hard by injuries this season, and the defensive situation looks even more challenging with Gomez sidelined due to a hip complaint suffered during Saturday’s 3–2 loss to Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Konaté remains away on compassionate leave following the recent passing of his father, leaving Liverpool without one of their key centre-backs yet again.

With both defenders unavailable, manager Arne Slot may have to reshuffle his backline or consider unconventional options — such as moving a midfielder into central defence alongside Virgil van Dijk — as the club seeks to secure vital Champions League qualification.
