FSG have decided: Xabi Alonso to replace Arne Slot this summer if viral online hint offers any indication

But there have been some worrying whispers over talks with Chelsea, with the current head coach role vacant.

Liverpool cannot allow Chelsea to win Alonso race

We have our doubts over the veracity of reports linking Xabi Alonso to the Stamford Bridge job.

For starters, after enduring such a turbulent spell in Madrid – through no fault of his own, we’d argue – we just can’t see why the 44-year-old would risk it all at another extremely unsettled club.

Unless he’s been offered guarantees over the level of control he’ll enjoy in London, this just doesn’t seem a sensible move in the slightest – and one that could do serious harm to his managerial reputation.

Meanwhile, at L4, Liverpool risk undoing all the good work Jurgen Klopp helped deliver during his time at Anfield by sticking with a man who has lost all goodwill with the Anfield faithful.

We’re struggling to see how one potentially good window fixes that.

And then there’s horrid possibility to consider that, pending an agreement with Chelsea, our former beloved midfielder could transform Chelsea’s prospects while Liverpool flounder in the 2026/27 season.

Don’t make such an obvious mistake, Liverpool.
