Liverpool and Feyenoord have now agreed a fee for manager Arne Slot, who will make the switch to Anfield this summer as replacement for Jurgen Klopp.

Though Liverpool saw an initial offer of compensation for Slot turned down earlier this week, both clubs remained intent on reaching an agreement.

With the 45-year-old resolved to join as Klopp’s successor, talks continued and a package has now been agreed ahead of the summer, according to website thisisanfield.com

Liverpool’s first, rejected offer stood at around €9 million (more than 35 million AED), but the deal now includes an additional €2 million (more than 7million AED) in add-ons to bring the total to €11 million (more than 43 million AED).

It ensures Slot is the most expensive manager in Dutch history.

Slot still has three games left in charge of Feyenoord, starting on Sunday night at home to former club PEC Zwolle, but his work at Liverpool would begin soon after.
