The search for Klopp's successor has been ongoing for three months but Arne Slot is set to take over this summer.

The Reds have agreed a compensation package with Feyenoord for Slot, reports BBC Sport, and will now look to finalize the Dutchman's contract.

That should be a formality with Slot making no secret of his desire to manage Liverpool.

Should his appointment be confirmed, Slot and new sporting director Richard Hughes will face some big decisions over the futures of members of the Liverpool squad.

Thiago Alcântara and Joël Matip are likely to leave on free transfers but there are three more players out of contract in a year's time.

Mohamed Salah is likely to be the subject of fresh interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and his spat with Klopp during the draw with West Ham sparked fresh speculation over his future.

The Mirror also reports there is uncertainty over skipper Virgil van Dijk ahead of Klopp's exit.

The other player set to be a free agent in 2025 is Trent Alexander-Arnold, although the Liverpool ace is expected to pen an extension.

Besides the trio, Slot will inherit a talented young squad at Anfield, which will only improve after this season's challenges.

The likes of Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah have established themselves as first-team regulars while Klopp has also given opportunities to a host of other academy players.

There are suggestions that Liverpool could look to bring in a younger alternative this summer but in Baj?eti?, it may already have the perfect heir.
