Andoni Iraola remains heavily linked with a move to Liverpool despite repeated reports that Arne Slot isn’t going anywhere, despite the failures of the 2025-26 season. While there has been mass speculation over the future of manager Arne Slot, Liverpool are set to retain the Dutchman despite links to the likes of Xabi Alonso and Bournemouth boss Iraola.

Liverpool have made inquiries about Iraola Sky Sports Italy reports: “Getting Andoni Iraola’s approval doesn’t seem easy for the Rossoneri. Iraola isn’t open to it at the moment, but Milan isn’t the only club interested in him: two Premier League clubs, Crystal Palace and Liverpool, and one Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen, have also made inquiries about the Bournemouth manager.

Alonso joined Chelsea recently when he was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, but now it appears as though Slot is likely to stay at the club for another season. While it’s my opinion that it would have been wise to move on from the Dutch coach earlier this season, Liverpool need to back the manager if they are going to keep him.
