Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on Arne Slot’s future at Liverpool after the club’s hierarchy reached a unanimous decision regarding their manager.
Liverpool face an uphill battle to defend their Premier League crown, currently sitting seven points behind leaders Arsenal. Normally, such a gap wouldn’t be cause for alarm this early in the season — but with Arsenal’s consistency, every week feels like a mountain to climb. The Gunners seem to need just one goal per match to secure victory, while Liverpool have struggled to find solutions.
Four consecutive league defeats, defensive issues from set pieces and long balls, and ongoing struggles to break down compact defenses have increased the pressure on Slot. Rumors have circulated about his job security, with some even speculating about a sensational Jurgen Klopp return should the Dutchman be dismissed.
Fair or not, all eyes are now on Slot. It’s up to him to integrate new signings effectively, adapt tactically to opponents’ strategies, and make game-changing adjustments during matches. Critics argue he’s falling short on all three fronts — but according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool’s leadership is standing firm.
Speaking on YouTube, Romano reported that every key figure at the club remains fully behind Slot and has no plans to make a managerial change.
> “Liverpool, internally — and I mean the hierarchy, the ownership, everyone at the club — have total trust in Arne Slot,” said Romano.
“They are 100 percent convinced he’s the right man to guide the team through this situation. Of course, the start hasn’t been great, but Liverpool believe things will improve as Slot gets more time to evaluate the squad and adjust after the summer changes.
“There’s excellent communication between the manager and the club’s directors. There are no issues, no tension between Slot and the players, or between Slot and the management.
“The problems are tactical and mental, not relational.”
Elsewhere, a national newspaper’s chief football writer made headlines for all the wrong reasons with a bizarre suggestion on how Slot could end Liverpool’s losing run — a comment widely ridiculed by fans and pundits alike.
In transfer news, Liverpool are reportedly chasing a prolific forward already subject to £50 million bids from Manchester United and Tottenham, while signs are emerging that one of their summer deals could soon be reversed, with the player potentially heading back to his former club.
