According to reports, a Champions League powerhouse is interested in Arne Slot, raising questions about his future at Liverpool.
After succeeding Jurgen Klopp, the Dutchman won the league in his first season at Merseyside, helping the Reds win their second Premier League championship.
Even though Slot’s Liverpool lost to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final, lost to Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup’s fourth round, and were ousted relatively early in the Champions League by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain, his season was unquestionably successful.
Slot, who left Feyenoord to accept a three-year contract, is allegedly being courted by a “keen” European powerhouse.
According to sources, Fenway Sports Group has now begun contract negotiations with their head coach as a result of these reports.
Even though Vincent Kompany is still employed in Bavaria, Liverpool.com claims that Bayern Munich is still interested in the Dutch manager of Liverpool.
It could be pointless to try to convince Slot to leave Merseyside, as the 46-year-old is reportedly eager to sign a new deal with Liverpool following a fruitful conversation with FSG representatives on Friday.
After the club made significant investments in players like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak during the summer transfer window, the Reds boss was reportedly promised more interesting additions.
Though Kompany won the Bundesliga in his first season with the German powerhouses, it is unclear how Bayern’s interest in Slot will affect him.
Even though Liverpool boasts a spotless Premier League record, their start to the current season under Slot has been uneventful.
Crystal Palace, the FA Cup winners from the previous season, scored twice in a 2-2 draw after ninety minutes to deny the Reds the Community Shield.
Even though Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 4-2 in gameweek one and barely defeated 10-man Newcastle 3-2 in gameweek two, their leaky defence still allows goals to be scored in league games.
Before the international break, the defending Premier League champions defeated Arsenal 1-0 to record their first clean sheet of the season, but they are still trying to find the correct balance because that close victory was lacklustre.
The Reds were also disappointed by their unsuccessful effort to recruit Marc Guehi, a defender for Palace who would have given their team, which mostly consists of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as centre backs, much-needed defensive depth.
