Arne Slot has given Liverpool confidence despite early concerns about their post-Jurgen Klopp era. However, seven months into the Dutchman’s reign, rumours have surfaced that two key players may soon be on the firing list.
As of this writing, the former Feyenoord manager has won 17 of his first games as manager of the Reds, who now lead the Premier League by six points over Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Additionally, they are performing at the top table in Europe.
Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones, for example, have settled into Slot’s engine and are essential players when the table toppers are playing at their best. However, not all players have such situation, and their prospects are uncertain.
Despite his strong play in front of goal, Diogo Jota is one of the few players who have never lost when scoring in a Premier League game. Anfield Watch claims that the Reds, who are still fighting on all fronts, are keeping an eye on his future.
Jota has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 978 minutes of play in all competitions this season, but according to sources, he may be leaving because Slot is dissatisfied with the Portuguese’s performance.
It is suggested that he is Liverpool’s best line-leader when healthy and performing well. But his problem is staying off the therapy table. The Porto native has only made seven Premier League starts in 2024–2025 after missing numerous games due to injuries.
The tricky forward Luis Diaz, who is currently regarded as one of the greatest wingers in the Premier League, is reportedly being considered for a sale in the summer along with the former Wolverhampton Wanderer talisman.
The Colombian, who is nearing the end of his current contract, is rumoured to be a target for Saudi Pro League clubs. According to Anfield Watch, Slot has grown “frustrated” with the 28-year-old as his first season as manager has gone on.
Diaz has made 32 appearances this season and scored 12 goals, eight of which have come in England’s top flight. However, his performances have since declined, and it is said that he is not regarded as a trustworthy source.
