Chelsea want Xabi Alonso to have a bigger role in recruitment and could reach a deal within days, with talks already held, reports say.
- Chelsea will accelerate their pursuit of managerial target Xabi Alonso immediately following Saturday's Cup final, aiming to secure a deal within days of the showpiece fixture.
- Both the Chelsea hierarchy and playing squad have identified Alonso as their preferred successor to Liam Rosenior, aiming to finalize the appointment before the World Cup.
- Despite the Dutchman overseeing 20 defeats across all competitions, Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool remains determined to stick with Slot, providing the Blues a clear path.
- Needing a win against Brentford to secure a spot, Liverpool faces uncertainty regarding Champions League qualification, with Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion positioned to leapfrog.
- Eager to prevent Liverpool from reconsidering Slot's future at week's end, the Blues are moving quickly to finalize the agreement, as officials believe fan reaction to Alonso remains largely positive.
