“It is approaching agreement” | Liverpool FC Supporters Club Norway

Liverpool and Feyenoord have been in negotiations over a compensation for Arne Slot, who has two years left on his contract in Rotterdam.

On Friday afternoon, Fabrizio Romano reports that the two clubs are beginning to approach an agreement.

“An agreement is approaching on the compensation sum for Slot after new talks today. There are a few details that need to be clarified, but a green light is expected soon,” he writes.

Minutes after that tweet, Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy broke similar news.

She writes, among other things, that Liverpool and Feyenoord are on their way to the end of the negotiations. Dutch sources have reported an amount of £9.85 million, but that Sky Sports has not been informed of any concrete amount.

The first choice

In the English media, Sporting boss Ruben Amorim has been seen as Liverpool’s first choice ever since he confirmed to Xabi Alonso that he would stay at Leverkusen. That is not true, according to Reddy.

“He was part of Liverpool’s list, but the club has always been clear that he has not been the leading candidate. He fulfilled a number of requirements, but his style of play – especially with a three-back line – did not suit Liverpool’s philosophy”.

“The club has already assessed Slot as a better choice, and that they see the Dutchman as a better communicator (language) and network builder. His human character was carefully assessed before he was seen as the clear first team”.

There are many indications that a Slot announcement from Liverpool Football Club could come at any moment. We are following the ongoing situation continuously.
