Reports have revealed that Spaniard Xabi Alonso received the first official contact from Liverpool, reflecting early moves by the Reds' management to explore their coaching options for the upcoming period.

This communication comes at a remarkable time, especially after Xabi Alonso recently left his position as coach of Real Madrid, making him one of the most prominent names available in the coaching arena and a potential target for several major European clubs.

Alonso holds a special place within the walls of Liverpool, both for what he contributed as a player wearing the team's jersey and for the significant development he has shown at the coaching level during his recent experience. This makes him an attractive option for the club's management and its fans.

Although the negotiations are still in their early stages, Liverpool's entry into the talks could ignite a European race to sign Xabi Alonso, especially given his rising reputation as one of the most prominent young coaches on the continent in recent years.
