I observed as Arne Slot, after a 20-goal season, became ‘crazy’ over a $43 million transfer target for Liverpool.
Arne Slot will be the new head coach of Liverpool starting this summer. He is purportedly “crazy” about a player who has been connected to a transfer in the past. Even though Arne Slot hasn’t even been formally revealed yet, speculation about his Liverpool team’s composition has already begun. It should come as no surprise that Jürgen Klopp’s career appears to be coming to an end on the field. Liverpool is anticipated to close a deal soon to bring in Slot to succeed Klopp, with personal terms not seen to be a roadblock to any agreement. The 45-year-old has expressed his desire to transfer to Anfield before.
Transfer talks are starting before the summer because of how Liverpool’s season has collapsed in the last several weeks, with the Reds losing to teams in the FA Cup, Europa League, and now the Premier League championship fight. Although drastic changes are unlikely given Slot’s preference for a style of play akin to Klopp’s, another infusion of quality is required.
