It was just another report yesterday morning, but today it seems that all wheels are in motion. Arne Slot is not only the option for Liverpool (third option), but the Reds have already made the first bid, and it has been rejected. As per The Athletic, which usually has very reliable sources, Liverpool offered Feyenoord around 9 million euros in compensation, but the sum was denied. Slot does not have a release clause in his contract, so the club will do all they can to up the price a bit. Also, in just under 24 hours, more people were speaking publicly about the Dutch boss, and one of those statements came directly from Liverpool and their captain.Turn off the camera: Klopp’s ‘Last Dance’ turns into a proper nightmareAfter a bitter 2-0 loss to Everton, which all but ended Liverpool’s dreams of a possible title, Virgil van Dijk was asked about the game, but also about Slot.“I think Slot is one of the better Dutch coaches at the moment. With the way he plays and the philosophy he has, he can be a Liverpool coach. But I read and hear that it is far from complete. We shall see. We will focus on that next season, but that is still a long way off” said the Netherlands international.Option number three for Liverpool: Arne SlotAnd many believe that his style of play is actually the main reason he fits in as a potential Reds’ coach. The other subtle sign is the absence of the press conference ahead of today’s Feyenoord game against Go Ahead Eagles, with no reason given. Also, Slot said to the Sky Sports reporter, ‘I can’t deny that’ when asked about the rumors. Also, famous Dutch striker Marco Van Basten said that he believes Slot could manage Liverpool.Arne Slot says “I can’t deny that” when asked if he’s aware of rumours of him moving to the Premier League.pic.twitter.com/oTchWODO9S— Watch LFC (@Watch_LFC) April 25, 2024 “I’ve spoken to him a few times and I think what he does and what he sees is very strong. He gets along very well with the group of players, is tactically well-versed, can explain things well and is calm and intelligent. I think he can go to any club, even at the very difficult clubs, because he is so intelligent. He has a lot of qualities and he shows it at every level. He first did it at AZ, and now at Feyenoord. And Feyenoord is a really complicated club. He has been doing well for three years, while PSV and Ajax have much more options in terms of money. He could really fit anywhere. If you get AZ and Feyenoord to play football, you also get big clubs like AC Milan to play football. You can clearly see his hand where he is the coach. I think it will even be easier for him at a higher level because he has better players who understand his ideas faster. I also think he is smart enough to manage stubborn players” said Van Basten on Ziggo Sport’s ‘Rondo’ (via Metro).PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 29TuesdayArsenal – Chelsea 5-0 (1-0)/Trossard 4, White 52, 70, Havertz 57, 65/WednesdayWolverhampton – Bournemouth 0-1 (0-1)/Semenyo 37/Man.
