Liverpool reach agreement with Feyenoord for Slot compensation

Liverpool are on the verge of appointing Arne Slot as their new manager after reaching an agreement with Dutch club Feyenoord for the highly-rated coach.

The Premier League side are currently on the lookout for a new manager after Jurgen Klopp announced he will be leaving at the end of the season.

Bayern Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso was linked with the job but the former Liverpool midfielder opted to stay with his winning team.

Liverpool have now reportedly reach an agreement with Feyenoord for the signature of 45-year-old Slot.

Slot confirmed on Thursday that he is keen to move to Liverpool after being identified as the Premier League team’s preferred candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp.

According to reports, Liverpool and Feyenoord have reached an agreement over a compensation deal for Slot, who has two years left to run on his contract.

Liverpool opened talks with Feyenoord on Wednesday for Slot, who signed a three-year contract last year after guiding the Rotterdam-based club to the Eredivisie title.

The former AZ Alkmaar coach rejected offers from Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur to commit his future to Feyenoord.

However, he’s set to begin a new adventure with Liverpool next season.
