"We haven't confirmed anything yet" - Arne Slot provides update on Liverpool job
Liverpool appear to be entering the final stages of appointing a manager to replace Jurgen Klopp when he bids farewell to the club at the end of the season.
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso and Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim were among those to be heavily linked at different stages of the search for Klopp's successor.
However, in the last couple of weeks, Slot has emerged as the frontrunner to take over the reins at Anfield ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
A recent report claimed that Liverpool have reached an agreement with Feyenoord over a compensation package worth up to £9.4m.
Slot confident of Liverpool dealWhile his appointment only seems a matter of time, Slot played down the notion that the two clubs have already finalised a deal.
«Nothing has been officially confirmed yet,» Slot told Dutch media at Friday's pre-match conference for the upcoming clash with PEC Zwolle.
«I'm sitting here with the Feyenoord emblem on my chest, so in principle the intention is that it's all about Feyenoord. I have said before that I am confident that it will be done. I don't know when that will be. But I expect an agreement will be reached.»
Although he is confident a deal will be agreed, Slot insists he remains focused on his job with Feyenoord until he is formally announced as Klopp's replacement.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Slot said: «We haven't confirmed anything yet and as I said to the Dutch media, as long as we haven't confirmed anything yet, I don't think it is honest to the club where I am working now, or the club I could go to, to talk about that.»
