Speculation about Liverpool’s managerial future has increased after reports suggested that Xabi Alonso would want the club to sign Real Madrid’s Arda Güler if he were to take over for Arne Slot at Anfield.
Alonso, who had a successful career at Liverpool as a player, is linked to a possible return amid concerns about Slot’s ability to match last season’s Premier League-winning performance.
Growing Questions About Slot’s Future
While there has been no official word on Slot’s position, inconsistent performances have sparked debate about Liverpool’s long-term plans. Following last season’s success, expectations are high, and pressure is rising as the campaign continues.
Given his ties to the club and his growing reputation in European football, Alonso’s name has come up in discussions.
Güler Seen as Key to Alonso’s Vision
Reports from Spain indicate that Alonso sees Arda Güler as a vital part of any future rebuild at Liverpool. The Turkish international is recognized as one of Real Madrid’s most talented young players, able to play as a creative midfielder or in advanced attacking roles.
Güler has played regularly in La Liga this season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists in 25 appearances. These numbers highlight his rising importance at the Bernabéu.
No Official Talks, But Speculation Grows
Currently, there is no confirmation of formal talks between Liverpool and Alonso, nor is there any sign that Real Madrid is willing to let go of Güler.
However, with the summer transfer window approaching and Liverpool’s ambitions remaining high, discussions about the club’s managerial direction and potential squad changes are likely to continue.
