According to report, Liverpool have recently made “new positive contacts” with Xabi Alonso, marking a promising development in their quest for a new manager.
The former Liverpool player is keen to stepping into the role currently held by Jurgen Klopp, signaling a potential shift in leadership dynamics at Anfield.
Following Liverpool’s triumphant Carabao Cup victory last Sunday, Klopp expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance. The win on the pitch has spurred Liverpool’s board into action, intensifying their efforts to secure Klopp’s successor.
Alonso has emerged as a frontrunner in their considerations, with indications pointing towards the club favouring him as their top choice for the managerial position.
Liverpool Make “New Positive Contacts” with Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso is widely considered the frontrunner for the next Liverpool manager position.
At 42 years old has been impressing in his role at Bayer Leverkusen. Under his leadership, the team has surged ahead, currently holding an eight-point lead over Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings. With only 11 matches remaining in the season, Leverkusen are positioned as the frontrunner for the title.
In recent times, there have been significant reports linking Alonso to the Liverpool managerial role. Now, Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna has offered an optimistic update for fans of the Reds.
The journalist wrote on X yesterday: “Liverpool had new positive contacts with Xabi Alonso. The manager wants the move to the Reds who will continue to push in the next weeks.
“Bayern Munich is there but, for now, Xabi Alonso is more excited to join Liverpool and the PL.”
In a recent report on Foot Mercato, Aouna reiterated the sentiment expressed in his tweet. According to him, Xabi Alonso’s preference strongly favours Liverpool, with Bayern Munich being considered only as a secondary option.
Moreover, it has been disclosed that Alonso would welcome the opportunity to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. This preference is attributed to Alonso’s belief that Liverpool offer a more stable and better-structured environment compared to Bayern Munich.
Great News for Liverpool Fans
If the report is accurate, Liverpool fans should be excited.
Nearly every Reds supporter has endorsed the idea of Xabi Alonso becoming the club’s new manager following Jurgen Klopp’s announcement of stepping down.
Alonso’s management of Leverkusen has garnered widespread praise, leading many to believe that it’s only a matter of time before he transitions to a larger club.
While Bayern have expressed interest, Liverpool’s perceived stability and superior structure make Anfield a significantly more appealing destination for Alonso this summer.
