Amid the “uncertain future” of Ole Werner, Liverpool reportedly face competition from RB Leipzig for the services of Xabi Alonso should the Reds make the decision to part company with current manager Arne Slot next season.
A decade and a half after his time as a Liverpool player, Alonso turned down the chance to return to Anfield in the summer of 2024, prompting the club to appoint Slot instead. The Dutchman went on to deliver the Premier League title in his debut season but has since come under pressure because of a disappointing 2025–26 that has seen him struggle to rebuild the team in his own image.
