In recent days, one of the most interesting rumors surrounding Liverpool - the name of Xabi Alonso - has returned to the home pages. Rumors that the Spanish manager was very close to the Merseyside club's management quickly spread on social media and in football. However, one of the most convincing voices on this topic - the well-known insider Fabrizio Romano - reacted to the issue quite coldly and clearly.
According to Romano, he currently has no confirmed information about Liverpool establishing official contact with Alonso's agents. That is, the phrases circulating among fans like "that's it, the deal is ready" are not facts yet, but rather like possibilities and wishes.
At the same time, Romano highlighted an important detail: Xabi Alonso wants to return to big football, to a high-level job, as soon as possible. This is one of the main factors influencing his future decisions. Liverpool, however, has considered Alonso's option before and hasn't completely dismissed it. If the club decides to make a serious change in coaching, Alonso could be among the main candidates, even the "number one."
But Romano's general conclusion is simple and clear: there is no big news yet. So, it's too early to expect a dramatic script that says "will be announced tomorrow." There are many instant messages in football, but big appointments usually require documents and time - that's exactly what's noticeable now.
For information, Liverpool, led by Arne Slot, will face Karabakh in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. That is, the main focus for the team is the result and the quality of the game. These games accelerate the "transformation or disappearance" of any rumors.
In short, the talk about Alonso is interesting - but as Romano said, the point of "official action" isn't visible yet. For a fan, the most appropriate mode is one: holding onto emotions and waiting for facts to emerge. Football is a series, but each episode is great only with reliable sources.
