Liverpool has made a breakthrough with Feyenoord, and Arne Slot is now expected to become the new manager.

Incredibly, Slot will become Feyenoord's record transfer.

It's also thought that Liverpool has shelled out one of the highest ever fees for a manager.



Slot was contracted until 2026 with Feyenoord, and had no release clause.

The Athletic reported initially that a first offer of $9.6m (£7.7m/€9m) had been rejected by Feyenoord.

The Telegraph believes that Liverpool may have agreed to a moderate compromise.

It reports that there are 'suggestions' that Liverpool has paid around $11.2m (£9m/€10.5m) to release Slot from his contract with the Dutch side.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk has also come out in support of the appointment, which now looks imminent.

"I think Slot is one of the better Dutch coaches at the moment," declared Van Dijk.

Slot has some big shoes to fill, and now a pretty hefty price tag, but Michael Edwards clearly believes he has found his man.
