Liverpool eyeing Luis Enrique as Arne Slot replacement

Liverpool are considering bringing Luis Enrique to take their high-profile project ahead, but they will face some challenges in luring the PSG boss.

According to Fichajes, Arne Slot’s future remains the big topic of discussion around Liverpool, with the club already considering various names. The latest on their list and probably the most formidable of all options is Luis Enrique, with the Reds thinking of appointing the Spaniard next summer.

Liverpool continued to struggle under Arne Slot, having slumped to another massive defeat in midweek at the hands of PSV Eindhoven. The Dutchman is unable to get a tune out of his expensively assembled squad, as sections of the Anfield fanbase are already showing signs of disgruntlement with this manager.

Scenarios are being mentioned in the media regarding how much time Slot potentially has to save his job. Some insist the game against West Ham United at the weekend could have a big bearing on his future, while others have stated different timelines varying from until the end of the year or until next summer.

Should Slot continue to fail with regard to winning games, the decision might arrive imminently, as there are already a lot of replacement options discussed in the media. Ange Postecoglou, for one, is an option, as the Australian’s name has been mentioned more than once in the media recently. Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola is another option under consideration, as there are plenty more in the pipeline as things stand.

Liverpool have also considered re-appointing Jurgen Klopp, possibly in an interim role if they cannot sign their preferred targets at the moment. The major plan might lean towards bringing in someone massively capable of taking this project ahead and shaping the squad in the right way, as 55-year-old former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique’s name has come about as a potential option to replace Slot.

Will Luis Enrique become Liverpool’s next manager?

Luis Enrique is probably the best option in the market right now, given the 55-year-old former Barcelona manager’s recent success with PSG. Liverpool are realistically considering approaching the Spaniard next summer, as there’s no chance of luring him away from PSG mid-season.

PSG are unlikely to be happy with the links to Liverpool, are they will do everything in their power to keep hold of the Spaniard. However, the chance to manage Liverpool and make a mark in the Premier League might be in order of things for Enrique, which does make this link to the treble-winning PSG manager interesting.
