Agent in action: Liverpool ‘keen to move fast’ to seal crucial contract deal at Anfield

Liverpool are reportedly eager to move quickly to extend the contract of a key figure at Anfield — head coach Arne Slot.

Several players, including Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson, are entering the final nine months of their current deals, while Slot’s own contract expires next summer. The Dutchman signed a three-year agreement when he took charge in June 2024 and is already nearly halfway through it, having impressively led Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut season.

According to Mail Sport journalist Lewis Steele, discussions over a new deal for Slot are already underway. He revealed that Slot’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, is handling talks and noted that Liverpool are keen to finalise an extension soon to avoid the manager entering his final contracted year. Steele added that Slot himself appeared open to negotiations when asked about the topic earlier this year.

Despite recent criticism following three consecutive defeats, Slot’s position remains one of the most secure in world football. With Richard Hughes overseeing key contract renewals for players like Konate and Robertson, securing Slot’s long-term future is viewed as a top priority.

From Steele’s update, it’s clear that behind-the-scenes work has begun to keep the 47-year-old Dutchman at Anfield well beyond 2027 — and with Slot seemingly eager to stay, an announcement on a new deal could come sooner rather than later.
