Liverpool, according to reliable sources, are prepared to commit to Arne Slot ahead of the 2025/26 season.
If weāre to take those reports as gospel, the Dutchman will be given some extra time to prove that he remains the right man for the job.
Of course, if he canāt manage to correct Liverpoolās course next term, we canāt imagine that FSGās patience will be limitless.
And then it becomes a matter of analysing the options before the club in the middle of the campaign.
Assuming that Slot stays put at L4, it would leave Chelsea free to snap up their top target in Xabi Alonso.
In which case, with options of a similar calibre unlikely to be available in the middle of the 2026/27 season, Liverpoolās best choice to replace the Dutchman may look a lot like Iraola.
Of course, that all hinges on the Cherries boss opting to roll the dice on the quality of jobs available in the middle of the season.
In terms of how good a fit Richard Hughesā old pal on the south coast would be at L4⦠well, thatās up for debate.
