Xabi Alonso’s situation in Madrid is becoming worrying. Three defeats in five games and a team losing its bearings have weakened the Basque, whose future is now openly discussed. In this tense context, the technician begins to consider his options for the future, in case the Merengue management decides to accelerate the break. And according to several English sources, he already has a preferred destination in mind.
Liverpool, a natural refuge that opens to Xabi Alonso
The club Alonso is thinking of is none other than Liverpool. A name steeped in history for the former midfielder, crowned with legendary status at Anfield. The timing is a challenge: the Reds will only win half of their matches in 2025 and Arne Slot is increasingly weakened. The leaders are seriously considering turning the page, which opens up a near-perfect alignment for Alonso, who responded: “There is a link with Liverpool… You never know what the future holds.”
For the Basque, this track would be a real escape route in the event of dismissal, preventing him from remaining without a bench in the middle of the season. For Liverpool, it would be an opportunity to bring back a home icon in a complicated sporting context. Both camps could find immediate interest in it.
Further proof that Madrid is preparing for all scenarios: the name of Alvaro Arbeloa is already circulating to take over. Also formerly of Liverpool, he would offer an assumed internal transition. In the meantime, all eyes are on Alonso, whose future could be written far from the Spanish capital… and perhaps on the other side of the Channel.
