Arne Slot's future at Liverpool remains uncertain amid mounting speculation over the Dutchman's position at Anfield. The Reds boss endured a challenging campaign, finishing fifth in the Premier League with just 60 points—24 fewer than their title-winning season. Despite persistent pressure, club owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are said to maintain their faith in the 47-year-old manager.
Slot's Future Under Scrutiny
Slot has already begun planning for the summer transfer window, emphasizing the need for a new winger following Mohamed Salah's departure. However, speculation persists that Liverpool may be exploring managerial alternatives. According to Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Reds have approached Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola as a potential replacement.
Iraola, 43, has also been contacted by AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, and Crystal Palace. Di Marzio indicated that talks regarding Iraola are for the future, rather than an immediate change, as Liverpool weigh whether to give Slot more time to reverse the team's fortunes.
Club Chief Holds Transfer Talks
With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson set to leave Anfield, Liverpool may also part ways with academy graduate Curtis Jones. According to Di Marzio, sporting director Richard Hughes flew to Monte Carlo to meet with Inter Milan counterpart Piero Ausilio over a potential move. Inter were interested in Jones during the January window, but Slot blocked the transfer. The 25-year-old now has one year left on his contract and is reportedly prioritizing a move to Milan, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, potentially ending his 16-year association with the club.
