First, it was reported that Liverpool, who were rejected by Xavi Alonso and didn’t find common ground with Ruben Amorim, is contemplating Feyenoord’s Arne Slot. Then the Reds captain talked openly about a possibility that his countryman takes over at Anfield. Then Slot publicly said that he would sign for Liverpool, and now even the current coach is openly talking about his succeeder. Everybody expects that the deal will be finished by the end of the week, as the clubs were already in negotiations yesterday. The first offer of nine million euros was swiftly rejected by the Dutch champion but the Reds won’t give up and will increase the bid. Van Dijk: ‘Slot could be Liverpool’s coach’Even Jurgen Klopp knows that this is all but a done deal, so he rushed to welcome the soon-to-be new boss. “I am not involved in the process, just to clarify that. But I like a lot about it if he is the one. He wants to take the job. Come on, let’s go for it. Excited. I like the way his team play football. All the things I hear about him as a guy, he is a good guy. Some people I know know him, but I don’t know him yet. Some people tell me that he is a really good guy. I like that a lot. Good coach, good guy. Looking forward for the club if he is the solution or the man. I’m more than happy. It’s not up to me to judge these things but it all sounds really good to me” said Klopp. 🇳🇱Arne #Slot🔜#LFC👀 pic.twitter.com/qRy2dHJYtF— AnfieldIndex (@AnfieldIndex) April 26, 2024 The soon-to-be ex-l Liverpool boss also advocated for his job, even though it’s obvious that his bosses already found a replacement. “This is the best job in the world, best club in the world. Obviously now I even help by not finishing on a high, it looks like. There is space for improvement. Great job, great team, fantastic people. He would take a really, really interesting job” said Klopp.Turn off the camera: Klopp’s ‘Last Dance’ turns into a proper nightmareThe surprising defeat against city rivals Everton (first in 14 years) went down pretty hard on the German coach, even thou he had many important defeats during his career. “I can’t remember ever being as disappointed or frustrated after a game as I was after the Everton game. I lost a lot of games in my life but it was special we were not there. You watch the other two Arsenal and City playing very positive football and high results. We are where we are because we play positive football and we were not able to. I blame myself 100 per cent because we were not in the mood. We lost pretty much all the decisive battles, that was really really bad. In general, one or two weeks where we don’t play positive football” admitted the German. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8063284##
