Liverpool are working on a new contract deal with manager Arne Slot, aiming to finalize it quickly as talks are already underway. Since his appointment in June 2024 on a three-year contract, Slot has transformed Liverpool's performance, delivering success and trophies that have prompted the club to consider a significant contract extension[2][3][1]. Despite some challenges this season, including inconsistent performances and defensive vulnerabilities, Liverpool remain close to the top of the Premier League and competitive in the Champions League, reinforcing confidence in Slot's leadership. The club sees Slot as central to their future plans and is prepared to offer a lucrative new deal to secure his stay and build stability at Anfield[2]. Slot initially signed a 3-year contract worth around £6.6 million annually, plus bonuses linked to major trophies. The club invested heavily in acquiring him from Feyenoord, reportedly paying a transfer fee potentially rising to £9.4 million, making him one of the costliest managerial signings from the Dutch league. Liverpool’s new contract offer is expected to reflect his growing importance and achievements with the team[1]. Slot has also brought key members of his trusted coaching staff, which, combined with the backing of club leadership, has helped the team to improve markedly on the pitch. There appear to be few obstacles preventing the new deal's completion, and the renewal is seen as a natural step to continue Liverpool's upward trajectory under his guidance[3].
