Liverpool Manager Arne Slot

Liverpool boss Arne Slot reflected on past lessons while sharing his honest take on this season’s priorities and transfer strategy.

Reflecting on last season, Slot admitted that his strategy had both upsides and downsides (via Football on TNT Sports).

He said: “What I did was, I think everyone noticed this, I played a lot of time with the same players, and I think that cost us at the end of March, also the League Cup final.



We won the league because I was always consistent with playing the same players, but it was also the reason why we were not at our best…”

Asked about his priorities this campaign, the manager admitted the choice was far from simple:

“If I can only win one… because I wait so long it’s so difficult to pick.

But I think I would then go the Champions League.”

Slot also spoke in detail about Liverpool’s transfer activity, defending the club’s balance of sales and signings.

People in England don’t even have an idea that clubs also sell players.”

“A few players left because we thought it was best for them and they wanted to leave as well.

If you want to leave and the right club is there, we don’t keep you then we are open to selling you.”

This explanation comes after Liverpool made several high-profile moves this summer.

By openly acknowledging that sales are part of the club’s model, Slot highlights a strategy that is unusual in English football, where many top clubs primarily focus on buying.

Slot’s words underline that letting players leave is not a weakness but a deliberate part of maintaining competitiveness, and that the club’s financial discipline often goes unnoticed outside England.
