Alonso <\/a>has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid at the start of this year, but reports in recent months have claimed that he could return to the Premier League before the start of next season.<\/p>\n Liverpool <\/a>have been mooted as a possible destination after he had a spell at Anfield as a player and club chiefs targeted him to replace Jurgen Klopp before he opted to wait for the Real Madrid job to become available.<\/p>\n The Reds may make another attempt at appointing Alonso in the coming weeks\/months as Slot is gradually losing fan support over his dull style of play and their dire decline since winning the Premier League at the end of last season.<\/p>\n Liverpool currently face an uphill fight to qualify for the Champions League, with a top-five finish and\/or a trophy potentially required for the Dutchman to save himself.<\/p>\n READ: Konate awful as Liverpool set up another Anfield comeback in the Champions League<\/a><\/p>\n On Tuesday night, the Reds suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, so the clamour for Alonso will only grow if their results continue in this vein.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, a report in Spain claimed Liverpool and Alonso have reached a \u2018verbal agreement\u2019 over a three-year deal,<\/a> but Romano does not believe this is the case.<\/p>\n In an update following the defeat against Galatasaray, Romano has confirmed that Liverpool chiefs have not \u201cdecided\u201d whether to replace Slot, but he did also reveal that there are \u201cvery positive feelings\u201d between the club and Alonso.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the moment there is nothing done, agreed or advanced between Xabi Alonso and Liverpool. I can guarantee that nothing has been decided,\u201d Romano said on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
