He Liverpool interested in appointing Feyenoord's Arne Slot as his new coach, he understands 90min .
Slot is now one of the leading candidates to succeed Jurgen Klopp, who will leave Anfield at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The Dutchman led Feyenoord to the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League final on his debut in the 2021/22 season and then won the Eredivisie title last year. They also won this season's KNVB Cup on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over NEC Nijmegen.
Slot's striking, brave and attacking style of football is attractive to Liverpool, and was also the reason why Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign him before signing Ange Postecoglou. He is in demand again and Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Milan are also interested.
Bayern are understood to be the most serious and aggressive of the other suitors. Barcelona and Milan will likely struggle to meet Feyenoord's compensation demands which, with technical staff included, are expected to exceed €12 million. Liverpool are still carrying out a thorough process and, as a result, Slot is not the only candidate.
More information about the Premier League:
The Reds had been speaking to Rubén Amorim of Sporting CP but, as revealed 90min Earlier this month, the 39-year-old was never set as the top target for the job and those negotiations are not progressing as they stand.
Despite reports to the contrary, 90min understands that Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil is not one of the names on his short list. Likewise, Lille manager Paulo Fonseca is not currently being seriously considered by those in charge at Anfield.
FSG chief football officer Michael Edwards and incoming Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes are set to make a “brave and bold appointment”.
With Liverpool making no progress in talks with Amorim, the Sporting boss was invited to London on Monday for talks with West Ham United, who could opt to part ways with current manager David Moyes at the end of the season.
90min understands that West Ham's approach to Amorim was always seen as a remote possibility. Instead, Julen Lopetegui is considered a feasible target and would be available on a free transfer, having not worked since being released by Wolves in August 2023. However, Lopetegui has not been offered a three-year contract, despite some reports suggesting otherwise. .
Fonseca is also being considered by West Ham, who are open to giving the Lille boss another chance to impress after a failed interview in 2018. No contact has yet been made with Fonseca, who is focused on Lille, but he is respected by West Ham and has spoken internally along with former Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea manager Graham Potter.
