Arne Slot is set to become Liverpool’s next manager after the terms of his move from Feyenoord were agreed in principle between the two clubs on Friday, Ednews reports via The Guardian.
Liverpool and Feyenoord have been negotiating a compensation package since the Anfield club made an official move for the 45-year-old earlier this week. The two parties have now reached a verbal agreement over the deal, which will see Feyenoord receive €9m and a plus €2m in add-ons for a coach who has two years remaining on his contract.
Slot publicly declared his desire to replace Jurgen Klopp before Feyenoord’s victory at Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday. Personal terms are expected to be a formality following talks between Liverpool and Slot’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta. Confirmation of Slot’s appointment as Liverpool manager could follow quickly. Sipke Hulshoff, Feyenoord’s assistant coach, the club’s head of performance Ruben Peeters and analyst Etiënne Reijnen are expected to follow Slot to Anfield subject to receiving work permits.
