Arne Slot has denied reports Liverpool and Feyenoord have reached an agreement that will see him become Jurgen Klopp’s successor at Anfield.
The Dutchman is poised to take the reins on Merseyside when Klopp steps down at the end of the season with reports last week claiming the two clubs have agreed a compensation package, with Feyenoord initially turning down an offer worth £7.7million.
Feyenoord have three more games of their season left with Slot quizzed on his imminent move to the Premier League on Friday ahead of the weekend clash against PEC Zwolle.
He told Dutch media: ‘Nothing has been officially confirmed yet. I’m sitting here with the Feyenoord emblem on my chest, so in principle the intention is that it’s all about Feyenoord.
‘I have said before that I am confident that it will be done. I don’t know when that will be. But I expect an agreement will be reached.’
Speaking to Sky Sports, Slot couldn’t hide his grin as he admitted ‘he has every confidence’ the deal will be confirmed soon, but insisted nothing is official yet.
‘We haven’t confirmed anything yet and as I said to the Dutch media, as long as we haven’t confirmed anything yet, I don’t think it is honest to the club where I am working now, or the club I could go to, to talk about that.

‘I’m willing to ask questions when the official announcement is made and I have all the confidence that will happen.
‘But for now, it hasn’t been confirmed officially yet.’
