Former Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso is being linked with a potential move to Liverpool as a replacement for manager Arne Slot at the end of the season, according to reports by BILD.
Liverpool have endured a difficult campaign while attempting to defend the Premier League title Slot won in his debut season.
The team currently sits fifth in the table, trailing leaders Arsenal by 21 points, a situation that has raised doubts about the Dutchman’s future.
Despite the underwhelming league performance, the club is not expected to make any immediate managerial changes, as Liverpool remain active in other competitions.
They are still competing in the FA Cup, where they are set to face Manchester City, and in the UEFA Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
Alonso, who was recently dismissed by Real Madrid, is reportedly being considered by Liverpool’s hierarchy as a strong candidate to take over ahead of next season.
