Liverpool Football Club appears to be edging closer to appointing Arne Slot as the successor to Jurgen Klopp, with negotiations between the club and Feyenoord reportedly progressing positively.
Melissa Reddy, a reputable source for Liverpool-related news, has provided the latest update on the managerial situation at Anfield.
According to Reddy, Liverpool are expected to reach an agreement with Feyenoord over the future of Arne Slot in the near future.
While Liverpool were initially linked with Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, it now seems that the former AZ Alkmaar manager is the frontrunner to take over the reins from Klopp.
The Sky Sports reporter said:
“Liverpool and Feyenoord are heading towards finalising an agreement.”
“Sources in the Netherlands have mentioned a figure to me of £9.85m, but my understanding is that nothing’s been settled on yet, negotiations are still ongoing, but talks have been very positive.”
