Liverpool’s ‘Decisive Factor’ May Tempt Arne Slot to Replace Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as a potential replacement for Jurgen Klopp. Slot’s desire for Champions League football could make Liverpool an attractive option for him. The 45-year-old has previously turned down a move to Tottenham due to his ambitions of playing in the Champions League with Feyenoord.
He emphasized his satisfaction with his current position, citing the fantastic work with the staff and players, as well as his personal happiness. Despite Feyenoord’s inability to progress beyond the group stage in this season’s Champions League, Liverpool’s strong position in the Premier League puts them in a good position to meet Slot’s Champions League aspirations next season. They are currently sitting second in the league and on track to secure a place in Europe’s premier football competition next term.
Liverpool also have a realistic chance of clinching their second Premier League title under Klopp before the season concludes. Coincidentally, if Slot were to move to Liverpool, he could potentially face his current team, Feyenoord, in the Champions League next season. Feyenoord have almost secured their spot in the tournament and are positioned to qualify ahead of Twente.
Slot still has two years left on his contract with Feyenoord, and it is rumored that Liverpool would need to pay around £8.59 million to buy him out of his existing deal.
