Fabrizio Romano has suggested Liverpool may announce Arne Slot as their new manager within a week. The deal is almost finalized between Liverpool and Feyenoord. It seems inevitable that the 45-year-old will replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
Romano’s latest update on Caught Offside’s Daily Briefing confirms all paperwork is complete. Now, we await official announcements from both clubs for the move to materialize.
Romano stated: “The latest is that Liverpool and Feyenoord have signed all documents for Arne Slot’s imminent move to replace Jurgen Klopp.”
“The club statement is planned between clubs for this week, but the deal is all done and sealed.”
“At one point, it looked like Ruben Amorim was the frontrunner for the Liverpool job, but it was never a done deal, never something agreed.”
Confirmation of Slot as Liverpool’s new manager provides solace to eager fans awaiting an official confirmation from the club. While many preferred Klopp to stay, knowing his successor before the season ends eases the transition.
As Liverpool’s final Premier League match against Wolves nears, the team and fans will arrange a grand farewell for Klopp, anticipating the beginning of Slot’s era.
Thus Slot will get the permission to have his own way in the summer transfer window and enact his plans. Although not the first-choice replacement for many Liverpool fans, his credentials demonstrate he’s capable of guiding Liverpool into the future, stepping into Klopp’s shoes.
