David Ornstein has issued an update on Arne Slot\u2019s future at Liverpool amid links with Xabi Alonso, who has reportedly decided on his next move.<\/p>\n
Slot <\/a>is under immense scrutiny at Liverpool, having lost fan support over the course of an incredibly disappointing 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n The Dutchman is not the only one to blame for Liverpool<\/a>\u2018s dramatic downturn, but he has hardly endeared himself to supporters by adopting a really dull approach to games, as his side have been in the fight for Champions League qualification and not the title.<\/p>\n Slot has also not been helped by the fan clamour for Liverpool to appoint club legend Alonso as his successor, and it was reported on Monday evening that the Spaniard would prefer a return to Anfield instead of Chelsea.<\/a><\/p>\n However, Ornstein has insisted that the Reds \u201cfully intend\u201d to stick with Slot, while he has also offered a firm update on Alonso.<\/p>\n \u201cMy information is that Xabi Alonso is not under consideration at Liverpool at all,\u201d Ornstein said on NBC.<\/p>\n READ: Arne Slot has \u2018earned the right\u2019 to fix Liverpool even with Alonso looming\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool fully intend to go into next season with Arne Slot as their head coach.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Liverpool will want to recruit for Arne Slot this summer, in particular in the wing positions. And they think that will be crucial.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool will look to do more work in the transfer market.\u201d<\/p>\n Ornstein issues updates on Konate and Hughes<\/p>\n Regarding the future of Ibrahima Konate and Richard Hughes, Ornstein added: \u201cAs I understand it, the situation is still a stalemate and it\u2019s not looking particularly positive.<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough until either side walks away, there is still hope, of course, that that could reach a positive conclusion for him to stay at Anfield.\u201d<\/p>\n
