Now sources have told TBR that following talks with Slot – Liverpool have decided to press ahead and discuss terms with the Dutch giants.

We understand that Slot’s enthusiasm was a standout but also his knowledge and detailed plans for the direction he would like the club to go.

TBR is told that Feyenoord want €10million to release Slot from his contract that he signed last year – having snubbed the advances of Chelsea and Leeds.

There is no clause in his deal.

As it stands Liverpool have offered around €9million – but talks are continuing and sources in Holland have told TBR that they believe a deal is on the verge of being agreed.

Liverpool insist that they are also still talking with other candidates – but clear Slot is firm favourite at this point.
