Etienne Reijnen Set for Liverpool Transfer to Arne Slot Staff

Arne Slot is set for a liverpool transfer move off the pitch this summer, with Etienne Reijnen expected to join his backroom team at Liverpool. The switch gives Slot another trusted staff member after a season in which the club is already balancing changes in attack and uncertainty around parts of the squad.

Slot And Reijnen At Liverpool

Reijnen worked as Slot’s assistant at Feyenoord, and Liverpool could not get a work permit for him when the manager wanted to bring him over in 2024. This summer, that obstacle is out of the way, and Slot is expected to add him to the staff as he continues shaping the set-up around him.

The move fits the wider summer reshaping at Anfield. Mohamed Salah is leaving on a free transfer, Andy Robertson is also departing on a free transfer, and Liverpool are already sorting through the next layer of decisions around the squad rather than waiting for the market to settle on its own.

Alisson And Konate

Alisson Becker is attracting interest from Juventus, but he is expected to remain a Liverpool player next season. Ibrahima Konate’s future is described as up in the air, which leaves the club facing two different contract paths at the back of the team while the coaching group is being reinforced.

Liverpool have also identified Yan Diomande as one of the players they are considering for the right side of their attack, and he appears to be their first-choice target to replace Salah. The club do not see anyone as a like-for-like replacement, so the front line is being rebuilt by profile rather than by copying what has gone before.

Liverpool's Summer Reset

That rebuild started last summer, when Liverpool brought in Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak as part of the reshaping of the forward line. Ekitike missed the end of the season with an Achilles injury, and Liverpool may add another central option as they work through a summer that stretches from the bench to the attack.

For Slot, the arrival of Reijnen is the cleaner part of that process: a trusted assistant, a familiar voice from Feyenoord, and one more piece in a summer that already includes departures, targets and open questions around how the team will be put back together.
