Andoni Iraola is on the brink of becoming the new manager of Liverpool, a move that concludes the interest of Milan, Crystal Palace, Bayer Leverkusen, and other clubs that had shown interest in the Basque coach. Reports from England indicate that an agreement has been reached between Iraola and the Reds, with the contracts for him and his staff already prepared, awaiting only signatures. However, the formal signing might be delayed for a few hours as Liverpool is negotiating with Bournemouth to ensure a smooth transition from Iraola's previous position, where he has been for the past three years. Though some minor bureaucratic details remain, they are not expected to hinder the successful completion of the deal, which was solidified following discussions on the morning of the announcement, after which Iraola decided to accept the offer to succeed Arne Slot as Liverpool's manager.
