Slot outlines Liverpool transfer reality Speaking to Amazon Prime Sport after the defeat at Anfield, Slot addressed the club’s approach heading into a crucial window. He said: “Much has been said that the club is in a transition. The club has sold eight or 10 players to make money to sign five or so very talented players.

“We have to sell to buy. We are losing some players on a free transfer. It is a big challenge in the summer but the club has shown this model works.

“As I said many times the future looks very good, especially if we can sign players after good players leaving this summer. ” From a Liverpool perspective, that phrase “we have to sell to buy” is the one that stands out most, particularly given the scale of the rebuild many feel is needed after recent performances. With several players potentially moving on, including those out of contract, the balance between exits and arrivals could define how competitive we are next season.

Big decisions ahead after PSG exit The former Feyenoord boss also reflected on the performance itself and the broader context of our campaign. Slot added: “The players kept on going, even after going 1-0 down and that is a big compliment to them. “If you look at xG we should have scored two but didn’t score one and that has happened far too often this season.
