Boost for new manager Arne Slot
This news will be a significant boost for Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, who takes over the reigns from Jurgen Klopp.
As the club prepares for a phase of transition, retaining key players like Alisson, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk is crucial for maintaining stability and morale within the squad.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are reportedly targetting Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow as a back-up to Caoimhin Kelleher who is expected to leave the club this summer for regular playing time.
