Today's news suggests that Salah's departure could be the first of many for the Reds this summer. Elsewhere, with Slot under pressure, an update has emerged on the Dutchman's Anfield future.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FB PAGE!
The exodus will only add to the uncertainty and instability currently plaguing Anfield.READ MORE: Managing Liverpool as £225m exodus set to fund 'future superstar' Mohamed Salah replacementREAD MORE: Jurgen Klopp's new job lined up for summer after making thoughts on Liverpool return clearRumours also suggest that Curtis Jones' future is also uncertain and Ibrahima Konate is yet to sign a new contract, with his current deal expiring in June.Liverpool's reported stance is somewhat at odds with Slot's comments late last year, where he insisted that keeping a group of players together for a long period of time pays dividends.Somewhat of a fire sale would surely mean an influx of more talent into Anfield this summer, which will come off the back of the £450million they shelled out on players last summer."I thought we played some very good football," Slot said. "That's helpful if players are together longer, and I think history has shown many times that the longer players are playing together, the bigger chance you have of winning something."If you add players to what you have, there's also a serious chance of improving.
If you replace, like we've done, then it takes time, and then usually it gets better after a certain period of time."Slot sack updateDespite growing calls from sections of the Liverpool fanbase for Slot to lose his job, the 47-year-old is said to have the full support of the club's hierarchy - despite a disappointing second season in charge at Anfield.The Dutchman secured the Premier League title upon the first time of asking last campaign but has struggled this year. The report adds the Liverpool hierarchy does not believe that the Dutchman is "effectively on trial" until the end of the campaign.While former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso, who was sacked by Real Madrid earlier this year, has been linked with a return to Anfield should Slot get the sack, it's believed that Reds chiefs are not eyeing the Spaniard to take over either.The truth is that Slot now faces a tough month with games against City and PSG coming before clashes with Crystal Palace and city rivals Everton.
