Liverpool reach decision on sacking Arne Slot as Fabrizio Romano drops Xabi Alonso bombshell | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano has dropped an emphatic update on the future of Arne Slot at Liverpool, while three other top reporters have weighed in on what’s happening with Xabi Alonso.

Xabi Alonso to Chelsea latest

That raises the possibility of Alonso managing at one of Liverpool’s biggest rivals, and according to David Ornstein, Chelsea are exploring a swoop.

The Blues will appoint a new permanent manager in the summer and Alonso, 44, features near the top of their shortlist. Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola – out of contract in the summer – is also in their thinking.

What’s more, both Ben Jacobs and our own Graeme Bailey have confirmed Alonso and Chelsea have already held early talks that are being described as ‘positive’…
