Reports from Spain indicate that Xabi Alonso’s position at Real Madrid is becoming increasingly fragile, with murmurs of dissatisfaction growing among some of the club’s senior figures. Although Alonso’s early coaching achievements and legendary playing career once placed him on a pedestal, his standing in Madrid is now being carefully examined.
Amid the tension, sources on social media claim that Alonso would be open to returning to Liverpool if the opportunity presents itself. His name still carries huge weight on Merseyside, where he earned admiration for his composure, tactical intelligence, and leadership during his playing days.
Behind the scenes, club chief executive Michael Edwards has long been an admirer of the Spaniard. Edwards is believed to have considered Alonso the ideal successor to Jürgen Klopp before the German departed. However, Alonso chose the Real Madrid challenge at the time, following a successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, Arne Slot’s situation has become increasingly delicate. Liverpool’s poor run of form has pushed them into the lower half of the table, sparking concerns within the club hierarchy. Slot has reportedly been given a deadline—the January transfer window—to revive the team’s fortunes.
Should the slump continue, insiders believe a dramatic twist could unfold, opening the door for Alonso to return to Anfield in a managerial role. And if the former midfielder decides to walk away from the Bernabéu, Real Madrid are expected to turn once more to Zinedine Zidane as an interim option, echoing previous reshuffles at the club.
