Sacked Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has been contacted by Liverpool over replacing Arne Slot in the summer.
Leading Spanish outlet AS report that the Premier League side are trying to anticipate what their next move should be if they call time on Slot after an inconsistent season.
They add that: “Their contact with the manager’s entourage has been positive, which is bringing some relief to Liverpool.”
The timing also works well for both parties, with Alonso having no interest in taking a job before the summer, and Liverpool keen to let Slot finish the campaign.
However: “Waiting doesn’t mean that either he [Alonso] or Iñaki Ibáñez, his agent and confidant, are turning their backs on what’s on the horizon, and one of those possibilities is Liverpool.
“The English club’s management knows that the former Real Madrid player is determined to return to Anfield.
“The manager has completely dispelled any doubts he had after his initial approach to the team he played with for five seasons.”
