According to a source in the Netherlands, Liverpool and Feyenoord have reached a deal about Arne Slot. In a short while, he will take over as manager of Anfield.
Feyenoord and Liverpool have come to an understanding about Arne Slot’s compensation package. According to major news from the Netherlands, that is.
After several days of fruitful negotiations, Liverpool and Feyenoord are said to have reached a “verbal agreement,” according to Dutch publication AD. It is currently anticipated that the transaction will close quickly.
In fact, according to the rumor, Liverpool intends to finish the transfer this weekend. It is not anticipated that there would be more obstacles.
Feyenoord had earlier turned down Liverpool’s initial bid of $9.6 million (€9 million/£7.7 million) for Slot, according to The Athletic. However, it appears that progress has been achieved.
In order for Slot to take over as manager of Liverpool and replace Jürgen Klopp, ‘the final details and the actual signing’ are still required. His remarks from earlier in the week strongly suggested that if the two clubs could come to an agreement, personal issues would not be a problem.
Although he reiterated that he was not involved in choosing Slot’s successor, Klopp has endorsed Slot. Positive remarks regarding the Feyenoord manager have also been made by Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk.
