Liverpool: Xabi Alonso tipped to succeed Arne Slot

Xabi Alonso’s name is circulating insistently around Liverpool. According to BILD, the former Spanish midfielder would be the frontrunner to take the reins of the team at the end of the season, replacing Arne Slot. Crowned English champions in his first year, the Dutch technician is having a much tougher season. The Reds are currently fifth in the Premier League, well behind leader Arsenal, thus weakening his position as the summer transfer window approaches.

Despite this delicate context, Anfield’s management is delaying. The club remains involved on several fronts, with a clash coming up against Manchester City in the FA Cup, as well as a prestige duel against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League. Available since leaving Real Madrid at the start of the year, Xabi Alonso appears as the ideal profile to embody the Reds’ renewal. A former Liverpool man, admired for his vision of the game and his leadership, he could be the man for the reconstruction awaited at Liverpool.
