As Liverpool continue their season with Jürgen Klopp at the helm, they know the German manager will be leaving at the end of the season and need to replace him.
The favourite has been Xabi Alonso, almost from the very start, but there is also a chance the Spaniard stays at Bayer Leverkusen a while longer, needing alternatives to be assessed.
One of those could be Arne Slot, who was already linked with Premier League jobs last season, and there are some in the Netherlands like Mario Bilate who believe he is ready, as he explained to RTV Rijnmond, relayed by MSN.
He said: “He has achieved something and has really shown in Europe that he has his own philosophy. A step higher will not be a problem. It will manly be a choice of which club he thinks suits him best. I think that’s Liverpool.”
Robert Maaskant, on the other hand, feels a move to Liverpool would be too early for Slot, who might want to try himself in the Premier League at a team like Brighton, were Roberto De Zerbi to leave.
Regardless of who comes knocking for Arne Slot, journalist Dennis van Eersel explained that they would need to pay a hefty fee to get him out of the Dutch side.
He said: “In any case, he has no clause in his contract. This means that Feyenoord can ask for whatever they want in the event of a possible departure.”
After comfortably winning the Eredivisie last year, Slot and his side are currently second in this season’s edition of the competition, unable to keep up with the still unbeaten PSV Eindhoven, who have dropped just six points in 25 games.
