Liverpool are beginning to formulate plans for their first transfer window under Arne Slot.

The Reds look all set to name the Feyenoord boss as the manager chosen to follow Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Things have moved quickly with Slot, who was barely in the running just ten days ago.



Back then and before, it had appeared most likely that Ruben Amorim would be Liverpool’s next manager.

But after Amorim seemingly attempted to put pressure on the Reds by organising an interview with West Ham, his hopes of taking over were dead in the water.

Liverpool accelerated on Slot and look ready to announce his appointment.

In the meantime, the Reds can now look again to plans for the transfer market.

And with reports that Liverpool and Slot are targeting a new centre-back as a priority, journalist Graeme Bailey has exclusively told Rousing The Kop who may be on the shortlist.

Interestingly, one is a current favourite of the man Liverpool overlooked for the manager’s job this summer – Ruben Amorim.

“I wouldn’t rule out Inacio at this point at all,” Bailey insists.
