Alonso continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool, and Arne Slot could be shown the door in the coming weeks.
Liverpool have not been at their best this season, and the Dutch manager is under considerable pressure. According to a report from Fichajes, although the move has not been officially announced, it is practically a done deal, and Alonso will take over as Liverpool’s next manager.
The Spanish manager is highly rated by the Liverpool hierarchy, and it will be interesting to see if he can help them bounce back strongly. Liverpool will be fighting for a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. They have been mediocre so far, and a quality manager might help them turn things around.
Xabi Alonso ready to sell trio
The report claims that Alonso is likely to make changes to the team when he takes over and is looking to offload three players.
Ibrahima Konate, Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister could be sold at the end of the season.
Alonso believes the French International defender has declined and is no longer a key player for the club. In addition, his contract expires in the summer, and he has not yet agreed to an extension with Liverpool.
Salah set for exit
As for Salah, the Egyptian is clearly on the decline, and it would make sense for Liverpool to cash in on him while he still retains some value. After helping Liverpool win the league title last season, he has not been able to hit those levels so far this season.
Finally, Mac Allister could be sold as well. The report claims that the midfielder does not fit the style of player Alonso is looking for and that he wants a different profile of midfielder.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.
