Xabi Alonso’s position at Real Madrid is rumored to be weakening further, with reports suggesting growing discontent among some players within the team, as conveyed by indykaila New. According to the source, Alonso is prepared to take over as head coach of Liverpool if the club makes him an offer. Michael Edwards, Liverpool’s sporting director, has long held Alonso in high regard and viewed him as one of the main contenders to succeed Jurgen Klopp after his announced departure. However, at that time, Alonso chose Real Madrid, ignoring the possibility of returning to Anfield. Now, Arne Slot has until January to improve the team’s current unsatisfactory results. If the situation does not change, it is quite likely that Alonso will end up in the English Premier League—but as the manager of a team. There are also reports that should Alonso leave, Real Madrid bosses might temporarily bring back Zinedine Zidane to manage the squad. It is worth recalling that a major global insider, The Athletic, recently reported on Vinicius’s reluctance to extend his contract with Real Madrid due to disagreements with Alonso. Earlier, the Spanish press had already written that the relationship between the coach and Real Madrid players is far from ideal—the footballers disagree with some of Xabi’s tactical instructions. Real Madrid has gone three consecutive matches without a win.
