After talks with LFC board, Xabi Alonso is closer and closer to Liverpool move

Xabi Alonso is increasingly likely to join Liverpool as the new head coach, following productive discussions with the club's board and ahead of Jurgen Klopp's upcoming departure.

This move aligns with Alonso's affection for Liverpool, marking a promising new chapter after their recent Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea.

This claim comes from journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who reports that Alonso is closer and closer to agreeing a move to become the next manager of Liverpool FC.

Tavolieri's claim follows a report from Foot Mercato reporter Santi Aouna, who reports that "Xabi Alonso's heart is clearly leaning in favor of Liverpool".

It would be a masterstroke from Liverpool to follow their Carabao Cup triumph over Chelsea in the Wembley final on Sunday with the announcement that former midfield maestro Alonso is returning to the club to take over from Jurgen Klopp.

Nobody connected with LFC is happy about Klopp leaving but if he has to go, who better to replace him with than Alonso?

His brand of football is entertaining, he will have the instant respect of the players for his exploits as a player but now also as a manager.

Bayer Leverkusen are absolutely flying under his management this season and should win the Bundesliga this season.
