The 2026 date segued nicely with the expiry of Alonso’s contact too… Wonder if we can tempt him over early?
Apparently he has a release clause specifically for the 3 major clubs he played for (us, Bayern München and Real) that comes into effect this summer, so fingers crossed! 🤞
I’ve heard the release clause claim stated and also denied. As far as I know, both are just rumours rather than provable fact so who knows! Maybe we’ll find out in May lol
There’s also been a suggestion going around that this is all happening now rather than in 2026 specifically because Real were expected to come calling for Alonso this summer.
Still, 2026 would have been a perfect time. Sure he’s doing very well right now but he’s still incredibly unproven for a top flight position like Liverpool. An extra 2 years might have been useful to judge him better. Heck, two years ago we all thought Gerrard was a managerial genius and destined to return, and now…
