Liverpool have reportedly made formal contact with a new manager after the dramatic 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth.
Arne Slot's time at Liverpool could be coming to an end, according to latest reports.
The Reds reportedly made formal contact with Xabi Alonso as pressure reached a breaking point for Arne Slot following the Reds' dramatic 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth

Xabi Alonso to replace Arne Slot at Liverpool?
According to a report from Spanish outlet Diario AS, the Liverpool hierarchy reached out to the Spaniard's camp, specifically his agent, Inaki Ibanez, within hours of the final whistle at the Vitality Stadium.
The move marks a significant shift in the club's stance, with doubts over Slot's long-term future growing after a run of five Premier League matches without a win.

Alonso, who is currently available after a turbulent seven-month stint at Real Madrid, is said to be "enthusiastic" about a return to Anfield.

While the 44-year-old was initially planning a period of "active rest" until the end of the season, the prospect of managing his former club has reportedly changed his outlook.
The report suggests that while Slot currently retains the board's support until the end of the season, Liverpool are working to establish a clear timeline for a transition, potentially as early as July 2026.
The urgency behind the contact stems from Liverpool's dismal domestic form. Despite spending over £400 million in the summer following their title win last season, Slot's side has struggled for identity in 2026.
The Reds have failed to secure a Premier League victory since the turn of the year.
The Bournemouth loss was the third time this season Liverpool have conceded a winner in the 90th minute or later.
Alonso is still fondly remembered from his time at Liverpool, and will be welcomed by the fans, who have reportedly started losing patience with Slot.
