Slot 'confident' of Liverpool job as 'negotiations' take place

Arne Slot said Thursday that Feyenoord and Liverpool are in "negotiations" for him to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager of the Premier League giants and that the outcome "will become clear in the coming days".

"The only thing I can say about it is that the clubs are in negotiations," Slot told 'ESPN'. "It seems clear to me that I would like to go to Liverpool. Now I'm waiting to see whether the clubs reach an agreement. I'm very confident in that."

'ESPN' said that one of the matters being discussed for the release of the 45-year-old is compensation with the Dutch club demanding around 10.5 million euros.

"The clubs have to do their job," said Slot. "And then I'm waiting. I have to respect that. It will undoubtedly become clear in the coming days."

Slot moved successfully to Feyenoord in 2021 after impressing at AZ Alkmaar.
