Coach applies for position with Arne Slot, and Liverpool and Arsenal “will compete for $27 million move.”
Latest updates from Liverpool suggest a potential transfer battle with Arsenal and the need for Arne Slot to assemble his backroom team, with one Portuguese coach already showing interest.
As Liverpool transitions between Jürgen Klopp’s departure and Arne Slot’s arrival, the club is already in motion. While Klopp enjoys his holiday, Slot is gearing up to hit the ground running upon his official start date of June 1st.
Amidst considerations of transfers, contracts, and staffing, Slot is likely in discussions to shape the club’s future direction. Transfer planning, led by sporting director Richard Hughes, is a key focus.
In transfer news, Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly eyeing Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow. Liverpool’s interest may arise if Caoimhín Kelleher seeks a move, while Arsenal could be seeking a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale. The Telegraph suggests Arsenal’s pursuit, while De Telegraaf indicates a potential move to Liverpool alongside Slot.
Additionally, Liverpool is seeking a set-piece coach, prompting Portuguese coach Rúben Pinheiro to express interest. With Klopp’s departure, Liverpool is undergoing changes in its coaching staff, creating opportunities for new faces like Pinheiro to join the team.
