Arne Slot will coach Liverpool next season. Georginio Wijnaldum believes Slot is the right choice for his former team.

Liverpool is making a coaching change in the summer of 2024. Jurgen Klopp decided to leave after working at Anfield since 2015.

In his place, Liverpool has appointed Arne Slot. The Dutchman becomes Klopp’s successor after impressing with Feyenoord.

Liverpool has contracted Slot for the next three years. Now, Slot has the heavy task of continuing Klopp’s success at Anfield.

Wijnaldum had the opportunity to see Slot’s training methods firsthand while training with Feyenoord at the beginning of the season. He believes Slot is the right choice for Liverpool.

“In Arne Slot, I think Liverpool has truly got a great successor. The fact that they don’t all know Slot inside out in England is not an issue at all,” Wijnaldum told AD.

“At the beginning of this season, I trained for a few days at Feyenoord, and there I saw how Slot works. It was at a very high level, I thought it was really great.”

Wijnaldum also compared Slot to Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho. He stated that Slot is on the same level as those two coaches.

“I can compare him with Klopp and Mourinho, and I would say that Slot is at the same level.

“Yes, he is now coming into a completely different world, that’s true. However, that doesn’t mean he can’t do what he did at Feyenoord.”

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has quashed all speculation about his future by affirming his happiness at Anfield.

Diaz was brought to Liverpool as a replacement for Sadio Mane. The Colombian player didn’t take long to adapt at Anfield.

Diaz has brought a new dynamic to Liverpool’s left wing. He’s not only skilled at breaking through defenses but also works hard to help his team defend.

So far, Diaz has played 98 times for Liverpool in all competitions. He has scored 24 goals and provided 13 assists.

Currently, Luis Diaz is under contract with Liverpool until 2027. However, this hasn’t stopped speculation about his future at Anfield.

He is reported to be potentially leaving in the summer of 2024. Liverpool is claimed to be ready to sell the 27-year-old player if a suitable offer comes in.

On the other hand, Diaz is also said to be ready to leave Liverpool. There have been rumors that Barcelona is targeting him.

Diaz is claimed to be ready to join Barca, especially since the Catalan club has been his dream club for a long time.

Luis Diaz finally spoke out about the speculation regarding his future. He affirmed that he will not leave Liverpool.

He stated that he is happy at the Premier League club. Diaz also emphasized that he isn’t considering moving to another club.

“I am very happy to be at Liverpool, it is a great team and club, I have always wanted to play here, so I am very happy and relaxed,” he said, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

“I am not thinking about anything else,” Diaz emphasized.

English Premier League giant Liverpool is reported to be following in Manchester United’s footsteps in chasing Benfica star Joao Neves.

The 19-year-old midfielder is a product of Benfica’s academy. He was promoted to the senior team of the Portuguese club in 2022.

He briefly played for the B team before joining Benfica’s first team. So far, he has made 75 appearances in all competitions.

In 2023, Neves was called up to the Portugal national team. To date, he has earned six international caps.

Joao Neves is a future star, attracting interest from many top European clubs.

One of the clubs eyeing him is Manchester United. The Red Devils have reportedly been monitoring the versatile midfielder for a long time.

United is also claimed to have made an offer. They submitted a bid worth 60 million euros.

This report comes from Record. However, the offer was outright rejected by Benfica.

The report also mentions that another club is now interested in Joao Neves. Rumor has it that Liverpool is also targeting him.

The Reds are reportedly looking for a new midfielder. Thiago left them in the summer of 2024.

However, Liverpool will have to pay a hefty price to recruit him. His release clause is worth 105 million pounds, or about $135 million.

Neves can be played as a central midfielder. However, he can also operate as a defensive midfielder.
