“The clubs are negotiating, and I’m waiting for the result,” the 45-year-old manager stated in a recent interview, expressing his desire to join Liverpool. Additionally, he stated that he is waiting for the verdict.
There is no hiding the fact that I want to join Liverpool. At this moment, I am waiting for the clubs to come to a consensus, and I am certain that they will.
Since then, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed on social media that a compensation agreement has been negotiated between the two clubs, and that all of the contract specifics for Slot have been settled.
Before Slot emerged as the clear choice, a number of other managers, including Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi, Ruben Amorim, Thomas Tuchel, and Thomas Frank, were linked to the soon-to-be vacant Liverpool role.
This new development comes after there were a number of other managers who were linked to the position.
The outstanding track record that Slot has established at Feyenoord, where he led the team to their first Eredivisie title in six years last season and also won the Dutch Cup this season, is certainly one of the factors that has contributed to his appeal for the position of manager at Liverpool.
It is anticipated that Liverpool will pay Feyenoord a reported £7.7 million in addition to £1.7 million in add-ons in order to capture Slot’s services. Slot’s current deal has two years left on it.
