Liverpool head coach Arne Slot insists losing Mohamed Salah on a free transfer means the Reds will likely have to \u201csell to buy\u201d again in the summer.<\/p>\n
Slot\u2019s side have been underwhelming in the Premier League this season with Liverpool currently fifth following their title victory last term.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> are now out of the Champions League after they lost 2-0 against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night, giving them an overall aggregate defeat of 4-0.<\/p>\n It is set to be another big summer for Liverpool in the transfer market after spending over \u00a3400m on new players last year, including the marquee signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n Liverpool are set to lose Salah, Andy Robertson and possibly Ibrahima Konate on free transfers in the summer and Slot seemed frustrated that the Reds could have to sell before they can buy in the summer.<\/p>\n Speaking after their defeat to PSG at Anfield, Slot told reporters:\u00a0\u201cI think much is being said recently and maybe by many people also through this year that the club is in a transition.<\/p>\n READ: Slot somehow emerges from Liverpool humbling as only second most pointless man at Anfield<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve sold eight to ten players to recoup money to sign four, five, six very talented and good players.<\/p>\n \u201cNow we are losing Mo and Andy Robertson on a free transfer as we lost Trent [Alexander-Arnold] on a free transfer, and this model of the club means we have to sell usually to buy.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a big challenge, it was already last season and it\u2019s going to be a challenge in the summer again.<\/p>\n \u201cBut this club has also showed many times this model works and we can be very successful with this model and I think we\u2019ve signed, which you could see today, very good, talented players.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s hope they\u2019re all fit going into their second season in the Premier League, so as I said many times, the future looks really good especially if we can a few good signings after a few good players leave this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 But Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has dismissed Slot\u2019s suggestion that Liverpool are still in \u201ctransition\u201d despite winning the Premier League title last season.<\/p>\n Rooney said: \u201cI think you\u2019re talking about rebuilds\u2026 they were champions last season.<\/p>\n \u201cThey won the league last season and they spent an awful amount of money to try and make the squad better.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s certainly been faults from\u2026 whether that\u2019s recruitment, obviously they\u2019ve had players out injured but you shouldn\u2019t be talking about a rebuild when you\u2019ve just won the Premier League.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve lost some really good players, you can see why the fans were so upset when they lost Trent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool head coach Arne Slot insists losing Mohamed Salah on a free transfer means the Reds will likely…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399716,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-399715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
