Talk has grown that Liverpool’s hierarchy will limit Slott’s tenure, especially with the availability of Xabi Alonso in recent weeks. If the Reds choose to sack Slot and hire Alonso in his place, Express Sport has picked up a number of potential deals the former Liverpool midfielder could bring with him.
One of the big talking points during Alonso’s tenure at Real Madrid was his troubled relationship with Vinicius Junior, but on the opposite wing, Alonso seemed to be linking up well with Rodrygo. The Brazilian ace has been linked with a move away from Los Blancos, with Liverpool also considered as candidates in the summer. Real Madrid will likely need a lot of cash to entice him to sell, but Liverpool will likely decide to spend big on a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
There aren’t many members of Alonso’s domineering Bayer Leverkusen side yet in the German side, but Edmond Tapsoba has not yet joined the defection. He was a regular under Alonso at Leverkusen and was able to secure a deal for Tapsova as central defense has been a very difficult position for Liverpool of late. The 26-year-old has two years left on his contract by the time the summer arrives and Leverkusen could be forced to sell.
When it comes to Bundesliga exports, no player is more highly rated these days than Angelo Stiller. The midfielder has been linked for some time with the possibility of joining Europe’s elite, with Real Madrid named among the candidates. Stuttgart have the task of retaining him beyond the summer, so Liverpool will likely be among the teams knocking on Stiller’s door should he decide to leave.
And finally, another one of Alonso’s former Real Madrid lieutenants. Camavinga may have seen his Whites career extended by Alonso, given that the France international struggled in the minutes leading up to his arrival. The two appeared to have a strong relationship in the Spanish capital, which could benefit Liverpool’s hopes of signing him in the future. Camavinga is another Real Madrid player who has often been rumored to leave the club, and if he were to leave, reuniting with Alonso at Liverpool could be his chance.
