Euro giants ready to offer job to Andoni Iraola but are Liverpool finally making their move?

Andoni Iraola is preparing to leave Bournemouth at the end of the season, and multiple clubs are being linked with him. Bayer Leverkusen is expected to change managers this summer, and Iraola is reported as a potential replacement. Crystal Palace is also described as an ambitious target for Iraola. A separate report claims Liverpool may be making a move for him as well. Confirmation is not available regarding a Liverpool pursuit, and the prevailing expectation is that Liverpool will keep Arne Slot for now. Iraola has previously been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, but those clubs chose other candidates, with Iraola reportedly having reservations about the Chelsea project.

"Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola could reportedly be offered the Bayer Leverkusen job as they're expected to change manager this summer. The Spanish tactician is sure to be a man in demand as he prepares to leave Bournemouth at the end of this season, but it still seems unclear where he could be next season."

"According to the Telegraph, Iraola is an ambitious target for Crystal Palace, but it looks like Leverkusen could also offer him an alternative that might be more tempting. Interestingly, there's also been a report in the last 24 hours from Foot Mercato claiming that Liverpool may be making their move for Iraola as well."

"Our team at CaughtOffside has dedicated a lot of time to trying to find out what's going on with Iraola and the managerial merry-go-round this summer, and we cannot currently confirm that Iraola is a Liverpool target based on the information we have as of Saturday morning. It is our view that Iraola would be an ideal Arne Slot replacement for Liverpool, but the widely held view in the industry is that the Reds are expected to give the Dutch tactician more time."

"Iraola was a target for both Manchester United and Chelsea, but both clubs ended up going with different options by hiring Michael Carrick and Xabi Alonso, respectively. We were told that Iraola had reservations about the Chelsea project, though he was open to speaking to Man Utd, even if Carrick's strong performance as interim manager had already made him the clear favourite for the job."
