Liverpool continue talks with Feyenoord to finalise Arne Slot agreement
Slot has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
Arne Slot, 45, is eager to replace Jürgen Klopp at Anfield, and Liverpool have begun negotiations with Feyenoord over Slot's appointment as manager.
Due to his ability to develop young players, his success on a very little budget, his European experience, and his playing style, Slot has emerged as the front-runner for the Liverpool position.
The Premier League club have held positive talks with the Dutch manager. However, the talks with his club are continuing in order to reach an agreement on the compensation.
Fabrizio Romano has provided information on his X account about the latest update regarding Liverpool's move for Slot.
Romano has posted the following details about Liverpool's pursuit of Slot:
