Liverpool is offering a compensation package worth £7.7m with an additional £1.7m in add-ons for their potential new manager. It is believed that contract negotiations are unlikely to be a stumbling block, as the candidate, Slot, has expressed desire for the job.

Slot has received positive reviews, having led Feyenoord to a league title and a domestic trophy this season. Current Liverpool manager Klopp has spoken favorably of Slot, expressing excitement about the prospect.

Former Reds star Xabi Alonso was initially expected to take over but has confirmed he will stay on as Bayer Leverkusen boss. Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim was also considered as a potential candidate, but Liverpool is no longer pursuing him.

Meanwhile, Manchester City currently has a two-point lead over Liverpool, with one game in hand. Additionally, Liverpool is inviting fans to join a new WhatsApp community to receive daily Mirror Football content and special offers.
