Fresh reports are suggesting Xabi Alonso is still waiting to see whether Liverpool will officially make a move for him.
According to the latest claims, Alonso is awaiting a contract offer from Liverpool, but there is believed to be a deadline in his mind — and if nothing arrives before then, he will move on and consider other options.
That will only increase speculation surrounding the future of Arne Slot after another hugely disappointing result against Aston Villa.
Despite repeated reports suggesting Slot’s position is safe, many supporters simply do not believe Liverpool can ignore how badly this season has gone.
Especially after entering the campaign as defending Premier League champions.
The idea of Alonso still potentially being available will naturally excite Liverpool fans.
Not only because of his incredible work as a manager so far, but because of his connection to the club as a former Liverpool midfielder.
For many supporters, he feels like the obvious long-term choice.
What makes the situation even more frustrating for fans is the thought that Liverpool could actually miss the opportunity completely if they hesitate too long.
If the reports are accurate and Alonso does have a deadline in mind, Liverpool may not be able to wait much longer before making a decision on the managerial situation.
There is also a growing feeling among sections of the fanbase that uncertainty around the manager is affecting everything else at the club.
Transfers, contracts and long-term planning all become more difficult when there are constant questions over who will actually be leading the team next season.
Whether these reports are accurate or not, one thing is clear — the pressure and speculation around Liverpool’s future direction is only growing stronger.
And supporters are desperate for clarity before what could become one of the biggest summers the club has faced in years.
