Slot will join the Reds with a compensation deal of £9.4 million agreed in principle with his Eredivisie club Feyenoord.
The 45-year-old Dutchman is reportedly pleased with the opportunity to follow in Jurgen Klopp’s footsteps at Anfield.
According to SunSport, talks have apparently concluded for £7.7 million plus £1.7 million in additional payments, resulting in a total deal value of potentially £9.4 million.
Liverpool are reportedly also eyeing Feyenoord’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff, head of performance Ruben Peeters, and analyst Etienne Reijnen.
