Liverpool have initiated discussions with Feyenoord in a bid to secure a deal for their head coach Arne Slot to potentially take over as the next manager at Anfield, sources have revealed. Slot, aged 45, has emerged as the frontrunner for the Liverpool managerial position after Xabi Alonso opted to stay at Bayer Leverkusen and the club's interest in Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim waned.
Despite interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona in Slot, Liverpool has reached out to Feyenoord to try and secure the services of the former AZ Alkmaar coach. Slot turned down offers from Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur last year, as well as attracting attention from Chelsea, opting instead to extend his contract with Feyenoord until 2026 after guiding the team to the Eredivisie title in the 2022-23 season.
