The Reds are not yet convinced they need Xabi Alonso

Liverpool are changing managers, it is certain that Arne Slot will leave after a miserable season on the Reds' bench, and fans are currently hoping for one name as the Dutchman's successor.

Xabi Alonso, a man who left his mark in the red jersey as a player and who is naturally linked with Liverpool now that a coach has been appointed, could return to Anfield.

Xabi made a splash with Bayer Leverkusen two seasons ago, winning the German title and the German Cup in Germany, and the "pharmacists" even played in the Europa League final with him on the bench when Atalanta was better.

Alonso, as one of the best young experts, "delegated" himself to the Real Madrid bench, came to the famous club this summer and it turned out he made a big mistake. He was sacked in January of this year, and there were neither good results nor a good atmosphere, although only now - when we know the chaos Real is in - has it become clear that Alonso had no business being in that locker room...

And what Alonso experienced and survived in Madrid is of particular interest to Liverpool's leaders, reports "As".

Apparently, the famous club from the city of the Beatles is not convinced that Alonso is the right man for Liverpool, more precisely, they asked their colleagues from Real Madrid for information about Xabi - about his leadership abilities, his way of communicating...

If what "As" reported is true, this case is definitely not very common in the world of football, especially since Alonso is not anonymous...

What is probably certain when it comes to Liverpool is that they will enter next season with a new manager.

Slot did a great job in his first season after replacing Jurgen Klopp by winning the title, but this is a completely different story.

Liverpool are without a trophy, they will fight until the very end for a place in the Champions League, so the club has probably already decided to make a change. And they are thinking about Alonso, but it seems that they are still in a dilemma whether the arrival of Alonso instead of Slot would immediately mean a positive turn.
