Formal talks with Iraola are expected to follow.
The Spaniard has been in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen after appearing to cool talks with AC Milan earlier this week.
However, amidst those talks, Sky in Italy reported that Iroala was still open to the Liverpool job despite no vacancy being open at Anfield at the time.
Now it is – and Iroala has a strong relationship with Liverpool director of football Richard Hughes after their time together at Bournemouth.
Hughes convinced Bournemouth to hire Iraola from Rayo Vallacano in 2023. He has since done a remarkable job, putting Bournemouth in the Europa League via a sixth-place finish.
Iraola has also had Crystal Palace as an option but they have always expected him to join a bigger club – even after they won the Conference League.
