“You never know” — Elite manager hints at possible Liverpool switch

Xabi Alonso has emerged as a potential Liverpool target amid growing uncertainty surrounding Arne Slot’s future at Anfield.
The Reds are currently enduring a difficult spell, with poor results in both the Premier League and the Champions League piling pressure on the Dutch head coach. As a result, speculation has begun to swirl over whether Liverpool will remain patient or opt for a managerial change in the near future.
Should the club decide to act, Alonso would represent a compelling candidate. The former Liverpool midfielder was previously linked with a return to Anfield before taking up his role at Real Madrid.
Alonso’s reign in Spain has been a mixed one so far, raising questions over whether Liverpool could eventually tempt him with a way out if circumstances align.
Alonso responds to Liverpool links
Speaking about the possibility of managing Liverpool in the future (via Fabrizio Romano), Alonso acknowledged his strong connection with the club. While he stressed that he is currently content at Real Madrid, he stopped short of dismissing a potential move back to Anfield down the line.
Uncertain future for Slot
How the situation unfolds remains to be seen. Liverpool boast a talented squad and invested heavily during the summer, with expectations of competing for major honours this season.
Instead, performances have fallen short, and Slot has struggled to maximise the impact of his new signings. Given the club’s ambitions, continued underachievement could force their hand. The pressure is firmly on the Dutchman to engineer a swift turnaround if he hopes to remain in charge.
