Liverpool’s managerial situation could be approaching a critical moment, with Xabi Alonso reportedly awaiting a formal contract offer from the club.
The former Liverpool midfielder is understood to be open to the move — but not indefinitely. There is said to be a timeframe in place, and if an official offer does not arrive by that date, Alonso will move on to other opportunities.
For Liverpool, this is a crossroads moment.
A Manager in Demand
Alonso’s stock has risen dramatically after his impressive managerial performances in Europe. Calm, tactically intelligent, and respected in the dressing room, he represents both modern coaching principles and a strong emotional connection to the club.
But he is not short of admirers.
If Liverpool hesitate, other elite clubs will not.
The Risk of Delay
Liverpool have already experienced uncertainty in key positions in recent seasons. The idea that they could miss out on a leading candidate due to indecision would frustrate supporters even further.
Timing in football is everything.
If Alonso is truly waiting for Liverpool, the club must make a clear and decisive move. Allowing the situation to drift risks losing a manager who many see as the ideal long-term figure to lead the next era.
The Message Is Simple
Liverpool cannot assume loyalty or sentiment will keep the door open forever.
If they want Xabi Alonso, they must act now.

After the first half against Forest FSG will be guilty of negligence if they continue with Slot after May. They must secure Xabi as the only place Slot is taking us is to perpetual under performance and boredom.
I have to agree, there is no improvement under Slot.
