According to reports, Liverpool-bound Arne Slot has ‘already made a number of requests’ to their board ahead of the summer transfer window.
Feyenoord boss Slot is set to become Liverpool’s new manager as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the two clubs have “signed all documents” with a view to the Dutchman replacing Jurgen Klopp.
Slot has previously opted against joining Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur but was eager to join Liverpool.
He has done a brilliant job since taking over at Feyenoord in 2021. Last season, he helped his side win the Eredivisie title for the first time since 2017 and they recently won the KNVB Cup.

Slot has a huge job on his hands at Anfield as most managers would struggle to successfully replace Liverpool icon Klopp, who is leaving the Premier League giants after nine years in charge.
Liverpool focused on overhauling their midfield during last summer’s transfer window so they are well-stocked in that area of the pitch.
This summer, they are likely to target a young centre-back who could be a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
Van Dijk has been superb for Liverpool this season and youngster Jarell Quansah has also impressed, but with Joel Matip set to leave in the summer as a free agent and Ibrahima Konate struggling with injuries, a signing or two is required in that area of the pitch.
