Liverpool manager Arne Slot has hinted that Mohamed Salah may make a few appearances in the club’s upcoming clash against Aston Villa as the Reds continue preparations for the closing stages of the season. Speaking ahead of the encounter, Slot expressed confidence about his future at Anfield, insisting he fully expects to remain in charge next season despite ongoing speculation surrounding the club.
The Dutch Liverpool manager was also asked about the future of goalkeeper Alisson Becker but offered little detail, describing his own response as “boring.” Slot avoided fueling rumours regarding the Brazilian shot-stopper and instead maintained focus on the team’s preparations and long-term plans for the next campaign.
On the issue of player contracts, Slot disclosed that there have been no fresh updates concerning defender Ibrahima Konate’s situation. However, he confirmed that discussions are already underway regarding potential signings during the upcoming summer transfer window as Liverpool look to strengthen the squad for next season.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is expected to address the media later today following increased pressure in the title race. Manchester City narrowed the gap at the top of the table to just two points after securing a convincing 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, adding more tension to the battle for the league crown.
