Who could leave Liverpool as Slot warns of sell-to-buy transfer policy?
Arne Slot has warned the Liverpool fans not to expect another record-breaking summer spend. Liverpool broke transfer records last summer to become the first club in history to breach a £400m spend in a single window.
Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz were among the headline arrivals at Anfield, but Slot has cast doubt on another significant spend. The Dutchman has insisted that Liverpool will need to sell before buying in 2026.
"Now we are losing Mo (Salah) and Andy Robertson on a free transfer, as we lost Trent (Alexander-Arnold) on a free transfer," Slot said toAmazon Prime.
"This model of the club means we have to sell, usually, to buy. It's a big challenge. It already was last season and it's going to be in the summer again. But this club has also shown many times that this model works, and we can be very successful with this model. I think we've signed very good, talented players.
"Let's hope that they're all fit as they go into their second season in thePremier League. As I've said many times, the future looks really good, especially if we can add a few good signings, with good players also leaving this summer."
