Liverpool’s pursuit of Slot as their next manager seems to be progressing rapidly. The club is currently in discussions with both the Feyenoord boss and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, regarding contract terms. Slot is reportedly eager to join the Premier League side, a sentiment echoed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

After Xabi Alonso opted to remain with Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool turned their attention to Slot. They are attracted to his dynamic style of play and his reputation for player development. Negotiations for Slot’s release from Feyenoord are already underway, with Liverpool expressing confidence in reaching an agreement.

Feyenoord’s recent success in the KNVB Cup, winning three of the last ten finals, adds to Slot’s appeal.

Looking ahead, Liverpool aims to finalize a deal for Slot to succeed Klopp at the end of the season. Klopp still has five Premier League games remaining, starting with a match against Everton. A win in this fixture would bring Liverpool level on points with current league leaders Arsenal.
