Feyenoord is in serious negotiations with Liverpool about a transfer of coach Arne Slot (45) to the English top club. The Rotterdam team has received a first million offer from the club that is saying goodbye to German coach Jürgen Klopp after this season.
Sporting director Richard Hughes is handling the discussions on behalf of Liverpool. After three seasons, in which he reached a European final and won two top prizes, Slot has set his sights on leaving with the cup winner.
He wants to go to the English Premier League at all costs – especially because it is one of the biggest clubs now – with an enormous tradition that has presented itself to him. It is a dream opportunity for the 45-year-old trainer, he sees it, to work at Liverpool. Part of Feyenoord’s technical staff has already been asked to move to the Premier League with him.

Feyenoord is taking a tough stance
Feyenoord nevertheless takes a tough stance. The club offered him a large salary last year and hoped to keep him employed until mid-2026. Slot’s departure also has consequences if he also takes part of the staff with him. In the coming days it will become clear whether Liverpool is willing to put down the amount that Feyenoord demands. That will be considerably more than 10 million euros.
Feyenoord’s management does not want to comment on the negotiations at this stage, but the parties are in full discussions.
