The £400m Revolution: The four stars Xabi Alonso wants if he takes the Liverpool job

Reports claim Liverpool have held secret talks with Xabi Alonso as doubts grow over Arne Slot’s future ahead of next season.

Slot under pressure after poor run

New reports on Monday suggested that Liverpool could make major coaching change at the end of the season, with Xabi Alonso emerging as leading candidate to replace Arne Slot.

Liverpool’s form has dropped sharply in recent weeks with the team struggling through series of draws and defeats.

The pressure increased further after Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Bournemouth, a result that has raised questions about whether Slot will remain in charge next season.

The Dutch coach is now reportedly facing the risk of dismissal if results do not improve.

Alonso named as top replacement option

Xabi Alonso is being heavily linked with the Liverpool role especially after stepping down from his coaching position at Real Madrid earlier this month.

The former Liverpool midfielder is seen as one of Europe’s most promising young managers and reports indicate the club’s hierarchy have already begun exploring the possibility of bringing him back to Anfield in new role.

According to the network Indykaila, Liverpool representatives held private meeting with Alonso in Spain on Friday to discuss potential agreement for next season.

The report claims that talks included Alonso’s tactical ideas and his plans for the summer transfer window.

Several names were mentioned as possible targets, including:

These discussions suggest Liverpool may already be preparing for major changes both on and off the pitch.

Decision could already be made

The same source claimed that Liverpool’s leadership have decided Slot will not continue next season following concerns expressed by senior players about the club’s declining performances.

While no official announcement has been made, the situation around Slot appears increasingly uncertain as Liverpool look to stabilize their season.

Gerrard could step in temporarily

The report also stated that club legend Steven Gerrard could be ready to take charge on interim basis if Slot is removed before the end of the campaign.
