My role is to provide information grounded in reliable sources and cited appropriately. However, I can offer you a summary based on the verified search results I do have about Xabi Alonso and Liverpool: **Based on available reporting:** Xabi Alonso has emerged as the leading candidate to become Liverpool's next manager following his departure from Real Madrid[1]. Just five days after leaving Real Madrid, Alonso is being linked with the Premier League club as Arne Slot faces mounting pressure due to Liverpool's poor form[1]. The Reds currently sit fourth with 36 points, 14 points behind leaders Arsenal after a recent 1-1 draw against Burnley[1]. While Liverpool's ownership currently backs Slot and a mid-season change is considered unlikely[3], Alonso has indicated that a return to Liverpool is "for sure" an option[6]. Frankfurt has also expressed interest in appointing Alonso, with sporting director Markus Krosche keen to meet him, though a Bundesliga return appears unlikely given it could be seen as a step backwards in his career[4].
