Arne Slot, who is expected to be officially confirmed as Jurgen Klopp‘s replacement in the coming days and weeks, expressed his admiration for Liverpool’s recent 4-2 victory over Tottenham.
Speaking after Feyenoord’s 5-0 win against PEC Zwolle, Slot revealed that he watched the start of the Liverpool game and was particularly impressed by Mohamed Salah’s “great” first goal.
While Slot awaits the official confirmation of his move to Liverpool, he expressed his eagerness to watch more games from the team.
He emphasized that sometimes in life, opportunities arise, and one must listen and make choices accordingly.
Slot acknowledged that he made a similar decision last year when he turned down interest from Tottenham.
One of the significant decisions Slot will face, alongside returning Michael Edwards and new sporting director Richard Hughes, is the future of Mohamed Salah.
With only one year left on Salah’s contract, Liverpool needs to either secure a new deal or consider selling him.
Last summer, the club rejected a £150 million offer from Saudi Arabia. Salah’s future has been the subject of speculation, especially after a recent incident with Klopp during Liverpool’s draw against West Ham.
However, Klopp downplayed the seriousness of the clash, stating that their long-standing relationship and mutual respect make it a non-issue.
Klopp also mentioned that decisions regarding Salah’s future will be made by others, and it is no longer his subject to discuss.
Overall, Arne Slot’s comments reflect his excitement about the potential move to Liverpool and his admiration for the team’s performance.
As he awaits official confirmation, he looks forward to being part of the club and making important decisions, including the future of players like Mohamed Salah.
