With this in mind, it seems like the Reds have already started planning for the future, with Feyenoord’s Igor Paixao potentially tipped to replace Nunez and co.

Liverpool have already scouted Paixao this season, with the Brazilian’s 26 goal contributions catching the eye of the Reds staff.

Former Feyenoord boss Rob Jacobs has even urged Liverpool to sign Paixao for £42m, claiming he is ‘better’ than current Reds forward Cody Gakpo.

After being questioned on whether he will still be at Feyenoord next season, Paixao told NOS Sport:

“I will do my best at Feyenoord until the end of the season.

It is up to the Feyenoord board and my agents to determine what is best for everyone.”

If Liverpool are to secure the signing of Paixao this summer, they may have to act quickly.

That is because clubs in Italy are also interested in the Brazilian’s services, with AS Roma reportedly eying him up as a possible Paulo Dybala replacement (according to Gazzetta dello Sport).

Paixao’s previous links with Slot could give Liverpool the upper hand in the race to secure his signature, whether FSG takes advantage of that though is another question entirely.
