Xabi Alonso continues to be linked to Liverpool, although there is no current vacancy, while reports have reemerged over interest in Brazilian midfielder Andre. <\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso \u2018stance\u2019 if Liverpool \u201ccome calling\u201d<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso remains in the headlines in the Spanish press after his exit from Real Madrid<\/a>, and it has gained traction in the UK throughout Tuesday\u2019s news cycle.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool midfielder was previously described as a \u2018leading candidate\u2019 for the club after Jurgen Klopp<\/a> announced his exit, though he quickly committed to staying at Leverkusen at the time.<\/p>\n

With Arne Slot<\/a> under pressure and Alonso now available, the obvious headlines have emerged. Spanish outlet Marca<\/a> are the latest to breathe life into links to an Anfield move.<\/p>\n

\"2KA9M23<\/p>\n

They state that \u201cit\u2019s most likely he\u2019ll find a new team sometime in July,\u201d with Liverpool deemed \u201cthe most logical solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there is no explicit line about \u2018immediately accepting\u2019 an offer from Liverpool, as has been reported elsewhere, Marca\u2019s piece states \u201cwe all know Xabi will go to Liverpool sooner or later.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is reported that his plans are to rest, \u201cunless Liverpool comes calling,\u201d suggesting his stance could be quickly changed by an approach from his \u201cbeloved\u201d former club. <\/p>\n

There will be plenty of support for it, but it only changes if Slot is relieved of his duties.<\/p>\n

LFC News: 20-man travelling squad named, Szoboszlai contract & Andre transfer link<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mo Salah<\/a> has been named in Liverpool\u2019s 20-man travelling squad<\/a> to Marseille, but Ibrahima Konate<\/a> has not due to family reasons<\/a> \u2013 it remains to be seen if he will be involved <\/p>\n

\u2022 Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> has said there is progress over contract talks<\/a> but \u201cno decision has been made\u201d \u2013 here\u2019s hoping Liverpool finally learn their lesson about tying up their players! <\/p>\n

\u2022 Jurgen Klopp<\/a> has reaffirmed he won\u2019t be Real Madrid\u2019s next manager<\/a>, which is not that surprising, but just watch some \u2018reporters\u2019 continue to push his name forward<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wolves<\/a> midfielder Andre is reportedly back on Liverpool\u2019s radar, with reports in Brazil stating that they \u201cintend to make an official offer\u201d \u2013 it could be opportunistic if they\u2019re relegated (RTI Esporte<\/a>)<\/p>\n

OPINION: Why Slot is refusing to trust 5 players<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s team selection has been readily debated throughout the season, and Mo Stewart has taken a look at his use of the squad and the lack of minutes for five players in particular:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is natural for a new head coach to take a year to assess who he believes he can work with.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe summer departures of Darwin Nunez<\/a>, Jarell Quansah<\/a>, Kostas Tsimikas<\/a>, Tyler Morton<\/a> and Harvey Elliott<\/a> suggested the squad had been pruned \u2013 you would expect those that remained had earned his trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yet, the infamous five of Chiesa, Endo, Ngumoha, Nyoni and Ramsay have combined for a grand total of one start across Premier League<\/a> and Champions League<\/a>, the Italian getting the nod at home to Wolves<\/a> when Alexander Isak<\/a>, Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Cody Gakpo<\/a> and Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> were unavailable to start.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween them, there have been 89 squad selections across those two competitions, but only 32 appearances for a total of 398 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Thomas Frank maintains he feels support from Tottenham<\/a>\u2018s hierarchy as pressure continues to grow \u2013 it\u2019s going to be a sellers\u2019 market for managers in the Premier League<\/a> this summer! <\/p>\n

\u2022 Speaking of which, Roberto De Zerbi skirted questions over links to Man United<\/a> as he maintained Liverpool\u2019s visit is currently his only focus \u2013 wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if he ended up there <\/p>\n

Liverpool FC: On this day<\/p>\n

\"MANCHESTER,<\/p>\n

On this day in 1994, the great Matt Busby died at the age of 84.<\/p>\n

Most know him as the first great manager of Man United<\/a>. However, he was actually a Liverpool player before that and even captained the Reds.<\/p>\n

He played 122 times for Liverpool, plus on another 26 occasions during World War Two. <\/p>\n

During his playing days, the Liverpool Echo once described him as \u201cthe richest and most practised passer the game has ever known, hence he appears in a blinding light when compared with some other half-backs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Xabi Alonso continues to be linked to Liverpool, although there is no current vacancy, while reports have reemerged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,20608,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-380943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-round-up","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
