Arne Slot Threatens Liverpool’s Next Season, Carragher Warns Amid Alonso Rumors
Jamie Carragher has warned Liverpool that backing Arne Slot with a major summer spend could prove risky. He argues such support might carry over pressure into the next season.
Alonso linked and available
Xabi Alonso has been linked to Liverpool since his January exit from Real Madrid. He turned down earlier approaches in 2024 but is now reportedly ready to return to management this summer.
Reliable observers including James Pearce and David Ornstein say the club plans to keep Slot. Fan unrest, however, has grown amid Alonso rumors.
Carragher’s concerns
Carragher warns that sticking with an embattled coach can backfire. He believes loading fresh expectations and spending onto Slot could derail Liverpool’s early campaign.
He noted that the availability of a high-profile candidate will influence decisions. That factor played a role when Jurgen Klopp became attainable in the past.
Historical parallels and fan reaction
Carragher drew parallels with Liverpool’s past managerial search. He said the club once hoped to consult Klopp when Brendan Rodgers was appointed three years earlier.
He warned supporters risk repeating Manchester United-style impatience after Sir Alex Ferguson’s exit. Fans chasing a “next Klopp” may pressure the board into frequent changes.

Club insiders expect to back Slot for now. Alonso’s availability, though, remains a live consideration for decision-makers.
