Amidst speculation surrounding Xabi Alonso potentially taking over as Liverpool’s manager next season, Fabrizio Romano’s latest update could provide a glimmer of hope for Reds supporters.
Reports earlier this week suggested that Bayern Munich had initiated discussions with Bayer Leverkusen’s Alonso, casting doubt on Liverpool’s pursuit of the 42-year-old. However, Romano’s insights in his Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside shed light on the current situation.
Romano emphasized that Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen are fully committed to their ongoing campaign, focused on achieving historic success this season. Despite the speculation, Leverkusen’s form remains exemplary, indicating that the managerial rumors haven’t affected their performance.
While initial reports of Bayern’s interest may have unsettled Liverpool fans, Romano’s update suggests that no concrete developments have transpired. It appears that Alonso’s potential suitors have yet to make significant moves, with Leverkusen’s primary focus being their pursuit of the Bundesliga title.
With Leverkusen poised to clinch the title soon and Liverpool still without a sporting director to oversee managerial appointments, time is of the essence for the Anfield hierarchy. However, Romano hints that Alonso’s future may remain uncertain for a few more weeks, leaving the door open for Liverpool to secure his services if they act swiftly.
Liverpool’s chances of hiring Alonso may hinge on their ability to prioritize key backroom appointments and avoid delays that could allow Bayern Munich to swoop in ahead of them. While uncertainties persist, Romano’s update suggests that Liverpool’s pursuit of Alonso may still be within reach, offering optimism to the club’s eager fanbase.
