Liverpool are reportedly considering Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique as a potential replacement for Arne Slot, with the Spaniard having previously stated his ambition to work in the Premier League. According to reports, Fenway Sports Group view Enrique as their 'No.1 target' should they decide to dismiss Slot, who has overseen nine defeats in the club's last 12 matches.
Speaking to Cadena Ser in 2023, Enrique said: 'I follow above all the Premier [League] because I would like to go to England to work. I wouldn't go to any team but to one that could do important things, which greatly reduces the number.' The 55-year-old added that he would 'go to a team with possibilities'.
Enrique has enjoyed significant success at PSG, leading them to a treble last season including their first Champions League title. He previously achieved a treble with Barcelona in 2015, also winning the Champions League. His PSG side faced Liverpool in last season's Champions League, overcoming Slot's team on penalties after a 1-0 aggregate draw.
Arne Slot's position at Liverpool is understood to be under scrutiny following a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest and a 4-1 Champions League loss to PSV. Slot acknowledged the pressure, stating: 'If you lose so many times, people start talking about that. I have got a lot of support from above.'
The club could also consider a short-term return for Jurgen Klopp if Slot is relieved of his duties, but Enrique is seen as the long-term solution, though he is unlikely to leave PSG mid-season.
