Arne Slot said that Liverpool are keeping an eye open for an opportunity to strengthen in the transfer window and have ignored the scrutiny on his side by claiming that if he spent his time looking at social media he would have no life.
The Dutchman ignored the top scorer Mohamed SalahFormer Liverpool vice-captain’s jibe Jamie Carragher focus on your team. Salah posted that Carragher was ‘obsessed’ with him after the pundit’s latest discussion about his contract.
And he confirmed the Premier League leaders will be looking for opportunities in the winter window, although he is happy with the team who also took the lead in the Champions League and reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup .
The slot machine excelled with just one addition to his team in the summer transfer window, in Federico Chiesa, often injured.
But he emphasized to the signing of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashviliwho was loaned to Valencia for the season, to illustrate that Liverpool often look to the future.
He said: “It would be a bit weird if I said during the summer break that we are very happy with the team and then told you something different now.
“You always look at the market, this club has always done that. We did it with the goalkeeper that we don’t even have at the moment.
“If there is an opportunity in the market, this club always tries to seize that opportunity, but the team is in a good position.”
Meanwhile, Slot said he was far too busy for the online debate about the club following the 2-2 draw against Manchester United, explaining: “I’m not focused on posting on social media and what is said about us.
“If you do that as Liverpool manager you have no life because it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and people always say things about us.”
Liverpool travel to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-finals and Slot is yet to say whether he would choose Alisson or Caoimhin Kelleher, who helped them win the competition twice previously.
He waits to see if Dominik Szoboszlaiwho missed Sunday’s draw against Manchester United, will be fit to return but believes the Hungarian captain is unlikely to start.
