Liverpool managerial talks now set to collapse in sudden u-turn, says insider

Ruben Amorim had looked the clear frontrunner for the Liverpool managerial job after the Reds missed out on Xabi Alonso.

Several developments later, however, the Merseysiders have re-routed and now appear to favour Feyenoord’s Arne Slot.

Portuguese football insider Pedro Sepulveda has since tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) that the Reds are not prepared to meet the 39-year-old’s wage demands. Talks, as a result, are now set to collapse, with it understood that ‘the next days will be decisive’.
