Pearce outlined: “The newest is that Liverpool stay in negotiations with Feyenoord over a compensation bundle for his or her supervisor Arne Slot. As we’ve reported, Liverpool’s preliminary supply of round €9m was rejected.
“We perceive that Feyenoord have been holding out for a determine a lot nearer to €15m [£12.8m]. Slot nonetheless has two years left on his contract, no launch clause, and naturally they don’t need to lose him.
“What we do know is that Slot could be very keen about taking up from Klopp. It’s a problem that he needs to tackle.”
From Pearce’s replace, evidently Liverpool nonetheless have a little bit of a spot to bridge earlier than they arrive at a compensation determine which’d fulfill Feyenoord, who understandably need to maintain out for the very best quantity earlier than letting Slot depart.
Traditionally one in every of Netherlands’ most profitable golf equipment, the Rotterdam outfit have gained simply 4 trophies previously seven seasons together with the present marketing campaign, and two of these had been Dutch Tremendous Cups, the nation’s equal of the Group Defend right here (Transfermarkt).
The opposite two had been the Eredivisie title and KNVB Cup that the 45-year-old has delivered over the previous 12 months, and so they had been inside 90 minutes of successful the inaugural Europa Convention League two years in the past, which was additionally below his watch.
Slot has restored Feyenoord’s fame as a real Dutch powerhouse after twenty years of mediocrity, much like what Klopp achieved with Liverpool in England and Europe.
Whereas the job spec at Anfield can be reasonably completely different (i.e. preserving the membership’s competitiveness on the prime stage reasonably than reviving a sleeping large), it’s encouraging to listen to that the possible new supervisor is seemingly relishing that problem.
If he’s the person that Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes actually need, we’d prefer to assume that they’ll stump up a sufficiently inviting compensation bundle to sway the hierarchy at De Kuip.
