"Discuss it with someone else". Slot loses patience over questions about contract renewals for Liver

The futures of Liverpool’s key players Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk are a hot topic not only for fans but also for journalists, who frequently ask the team’s head coach, Arne Slot, about these matters. The Dutchman, however, seems to be growing impatient with the recurring questions.

Details: During a recent press conference, Slot was again asked about the contract situations of the team’s top trio, but he made it clear that such discussions shouldn't be public.

Quote: "It would be strange if I had no involvement [in renewing the contracts of my players], given that I am now the head coach. Sometimes it’s convenient to say that I’m the head coach, but I’m no longer the manager! So, discuss contract matters with someone else!

"I think, in general, those who should speak about contracts are the ones who do. I am one of them, but I’m not supposed to speak about it publicly. That’s why I discuss it with our sporting director, Richard Hughes, and that’s where these conversations belong—not in front of a microphone with you guys," Slot told Sky Sports.

Reminder: It was previously reported that Real Madrid’s chances of signing Trent Alexander-Arnold are minimal.
