Hey all, I am not in the know, just passing on something I heard from a friend.
Apparently the stall, delay on pushing through the Xabi Alonso agreement is FSG feel they may have a chance should PSG win the Champions League to persuade Luis Enrique to come to Liverpool.
Again not claiming to be ITK, just passing on what I was told.
With all the different information going on, take with a pinch of salt, but would be immense if it did happen.
Cheers.

He's signing another 4 year deal this summer.

The only reason I can think of that we are considering keeping Slot on is that Enrique has given us an inkling he would be ready to join us within 12 months.

I asked this (in my own deluded mind) the other day and Ed1 said it's highly unlikely (as much as he'd like him too)
To be honest, I'd say 99% of us would have him over the potential three that have been mentioned but it unfortunately doesn't sound like it'll happen.
Let's hope I'm wrong.

I'm sorry, I just don't believe it.
Everyone is desperate to find a rhyme or reason for the Mgmt sticking with Slot for so long.
I think the reality is too painful for most fans, myself included, because of how unpopular Slot has become with the fanbase.
I am looking forward to the season being over, and hope that brings a swift change with a manager, but I am also preparing myself for the pain of us sticking with Slot.

Enrique isn't leaving PSG.

Didn't he sign a new deal weeks ago?

10 months ago I didn't think we'd beat City to sign Wirtz.
Having signed him, I didn't think it would be possible to sign Isak as well, especially given Newcastle's stance.
You just never really know what's achievable.

Ron, why would he leave a club where he gets an annual salary of 20m a year, where he has an unlimited budget, has some of the best footballers around at his disposal, has complete control over everything football related, has a competent director of football, as well as the likelihood of winning the Champions League year on year for what is essentially a bin fire run by clowns.

Victor, I think u need to remember this is Liverpool Football Club which is held in v high esteem worldwide. Not in a great moment at the minute, but we will bounce back as always. 100% of managers and players will think v carefully if LFC approaches them to join, may not suit them for whatever reason, but they will be damn proud to be.
ast. Luis Enrique got tickets in Kop to watch a European game because he wanted to sample the iconic stadium in a night game, I wouldn't imagine he has done that too often elsewhere.
Highly unlikely he does come but don't sell yourself short.

This is my hope.
If Alonso has a whiff of this, then he should be accelerating whatever convos he may be in with other clubs.

Unfortunately, Digger, "vibes and feels" hardly ever wins over cold hard cash and reality.
And the reality is, we're nowhere near PSG, and it will likely take time to undo the mess which Slot has created.
Enrique wouldn't have the footballers required to play the football that he wants to play, so would also cost a lot bringing in the kinds of players he'd like.
Enrique is currently at arguably the best side in Europe by some margin and on a salary which only Guardiola matches.
I'm afraid that whether "we are Liverpool" or not, we are definitely a bin fire right now. The whole waiting for Enrique thing feels like the pointless pining over Bellingham. Another daydream that was never going to happen.
{Ed001's Note - Simeone is paid more than Pep and Enrique.}

LFC is a footballing giant, revered the world over. One bad season doesn't turn us into UTD. Poor decision making from here onwards could, which is why there is much tension, noise and confusing messaging coming from all connected to the club.

How can Enrique not have the players, but Slot does have the players?

Victor, maybe Enrique feels a bit underwhelmed shooting more fish in a barrel in France? What has he got left to achieve in Paris?
Compared to challenging himself in a new league with a new club?
At his age, he won't have that opportunity forever.

Faith, on paper, Slot, without doubt, has the players to be competing for trophies if he played to their strengths. We won last year, and every player brought in was a massive improvement on who went out, bar Trent.
Vik's talking about Enrique's specific brand of football; it's a relentlessly high-intensity style that demands elite fitness, drive, a resilient mentality and exceptional tactical awareness.
These are all elements that Arne has completely drained from this squad.

Hi, pretty sure he is off to Chelsea. Media reports, just like with Guehi and Semenyo, are right sometimes and we Liverpool fans can just dream.
