Liverpool have joined the race of top clubs to bring in a Ligue 1 team coach

After Xabi Alonso's decision to stay at Bayer and the rejection of Ruben Amorim, Liverpool will have to look to other personalities to lead the team in the summer. But they will still have to fight for them.

Lille head coach Paulo Fonseca is a favourite of the Merseysiders, and according to FootballTransfers he is the one Liverpool bosses want to bring in. It is reported that informal talks have recently taken place regarding the Portuguese's employment at Anfield.

But, for the invitation of the 51-year-old specialist will still need to fight, as his candidacy is considered by the bosses of Milan, who intend to say goodbye to Stefano Pioli at the end of the season.

In English football, Fonseca could appear even earlier, as his name was linked with Tottenham in 2021 and then Newcastle were considering him.
