Liverpool new manager search expected to conclude with Arne Slot as the new manager at Anfield as negotiations with Feyenoord continue
Arne Slot says he expects to net Feyenoord a new transfer record as Liverpool continue to negotiate for his release to replace Jurgen Klopp.
Slot does not have a buyout clause in his contract and it's believed the Eredivisie club turned down an initial offer of around £7.7m this week and are holding out for somewhere closer to the £10-£12m mark. "I have the impression that a good offer has already been made," Slot said. "And it seems that Feyenoord is already going to make the highest-paid Dutch transfer fee for a coach.
"Then you can talk about wishing, now it's just hard bargaining, which is everyone's right. But I absolutely believe they will reach an agreement." Speaking before the game on Thursday, Slot told ESPN NL: "It's no secret that I want to go to Liverpool. The clubs are negotiating. We have to wait until an agreement is reached, but I have every confidence in that."
Liverpool's pursuit of Klopp's successor has been a data-driven process behind the scenes and it's understood Slot has become strongly fancied by the Anfield hierarchy given he fits all of the criteria that have been set out by Fenway Sports Group's 'CEO of Football' Michael Edwards and the Reds' director of research Will Spearman.
