Feyenoord star Santiago Gimenez can possibly join Liverpool, along with his boss Arne Slot

Arne Slot, the manager of Feyenoord, has high links with Liverpool and wants to replace Jurgen Klopp. Persistent speculations imply that the Dutch manager is about to accept an offer to take over at Anfield in the coming months.

What has piqued the greatest interest is the possibility of Santiago Gimenez, Feyenoord’s budding star, joining the English club with his manager, Slot.

Although Slot does not appear to be pressing Gimenez to join Liverpool. But the possibility of the Mexican striker following his coach’s footsteps does not sound very surprising.

Gimenez has made a big name for himself. He has established his worth at Feyenoord, scoring over 20 goals in each of the previous two seasons. He has sparked interest from a number of top teams.

With the striker’s contract in the Netherlands continuing until 2027 and a market worth of €45 million, Atlético may consider him an enticing alternative if he qualifies for the UEFA Champions League.

In addition to Atletico’s interest, transfer talks with teams in Italy and the Premier League are ready to heat up in the coming months. Gimenez, 23, is regarded as a highly qualified player with the ability to flourish in Europe’s top divisions.

The Feyenoord superstar could turn out to be a vital asset for Liverpool. He has netted 24 goals providing seven assists in just 40 appearances this season.

It is no secret that, given Liverpool’s current performance, the Reds lack significantly in the finishing area. They struggle to convert potential chances into goals.

An addition to the attacking area was anyway on the priority list of the Reds. Salah could most likely leave this summer amid rising interest in the star. So, an asset like Gimenez could be highly valuable for the Reds.
