Andoni Iraola is set to join Liverpool after confirming a verbal agreement with the club. This decision could reshape Liverpool's future direction as they aim to rebuild following a disappointing season.

David Ornstein reports that Iraola, previously at Bournemouth, has quickly emerged as the top target after the sacking of Arne Slot. The 43-year-old coach is expected to sign a two-year contract, mirroring his previous agreements with Bournemouth. He also plans to bring four key staff members along, including Pablo de la Torre, Tommy Elphick, Shaun Cooper, and Tom Webber.

Liverpool's management is eager to revamp their squad, particularly after a lackluster defense of their Premier League title. They are reportedly negotiating to make Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jean-Matteo Bahoya their first signing under Iraola. The 21-year-old French winger has gained attention for his explosive speed and goal-scoring ability, making him a perfect fit for Iraola's vision.

With the appointment of Iraola, Liverpool looks to kickstart their transfer market activity and address crucial weaknesses in their squad. The club aims to present Iraola before the week concludes, signaling a fresh start for the team.
