At the moment, it’s unclear how different the Anfield outfit’s first team is going to look next season, but as well as on-pitch changes, there seems to also be some movement behind the scenes which is far from ideal.

Liverpool have been one of the most dominant teams in England this term, and with all the changes that are set to take place, it’s unclear whether they’ll be as strong next term.

During Slot’s time in charge of Feyenoord, Pusic was the Dutchman’s right-hand man.

However, he didn’t follow him to Liverpool as he was offered a managerial role at Shakhtar Donetsk, which he accepted instead.

However, after a poor run of form, Pusic has been let go by the Ukrainian outfit, which opens the door for Slot to swoop in.

Indeed, Heitinga’s departure isn’t confirmed just yet, but with Ajax vying for his services, it’s hard to see why the former Everton defender would turn down the chance to manage his own team.

Should Heitinga leave his post and Pusic either turns down Slot’s offer again or isn’t even offered the chance by Slot, the Reds will have to have other targets on their mind.

Indeed, these are all just ifs, buts and maybes at the moment, but should Heitinga leave his post, it’s unlikely that Liverpool will be short of options to replace him.
