Liverpool Football Club is set to welcome Arne Slot as their new manager following an agreement with Feyenoord, according to British media reports.
The compensation package for Slot, who still had two years left on his contract, is reportedly valued up to £9.4 million.
Slot expressed confidence in his move to Liverpool, stating his eagerness for the clubs to finalize the agreement.
Slot, who joined Feyenoord in 2021 after a successful stint with AZ Alkmaar, quickly made an impact by leading the team to the Europa Conference League final and securing a league title last season.
His potential appointment comes as Jurgen Klopp plans to step down after a transformative nine-year period with Liverpool that included a Champions League win in 2019 and a Premier League title in 2020.
Klopp praised Slot’s approach to football and his personal qualities, noting that if Slot is the chosen candidate, he would be very pleased.
As Feyenoord currently trails in the Eredivisie, Slot’s departure mirrors Klopp’s own challenges with Liverpool’s recent performance in the Premier League.
This managerial change represents a significant moment for Liverpool, which aims to maintain its competitive edge in English and European football under new leadership.
