Arne Slot May Offload Two Liverpool Players Who Have ‘Frustrated’ Him

Despite early concerns about Liverpool’s transition after Jurgen Klopp, Arne Slot has brought a sense of stability to the club. Seven months into his tenure, reports now suggest that two senior players could be at risk of being sold in the near future.

Since taking over, the former Feyenoord boss has led Liverpool to 17 wins in his opening matches, with the team sitting atop the Premier League, six points ahead of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. They are also competing strongly in Europe.

While players like Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch have established themselves as key figures in Slot’s midfield, others face uncertainty about their futures. According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation of Diogo Jota, despite his impressive record of never losing a Premier League match in which he has scored.

Jota has netted eight goals and provided two assists in 978 minutes across all competitions this season. However, reports suggest Slot is frustrated with his inconsistent availability. While the Portuguese forward is regarded as Liverpool’s most effective striker when fully fit, his frequent injury setbacks have limited him to just seven Premier League starts in the 2024/25 campaign.

Alongside Jota, Luis Diaz is also reportedly under consideration for a summer sale. The Colombian winger, regarded as one of the Premier League’s best in his position, is entering the final two years of his contract. Clubs in the Saudi Pro League are rumored to be interested, and Anfield Watch claims Slot has grown ‘frustrated’ with Diaz over the course of the season.

Despite scoring 12 goals in 32 appearances—including eight in the Premier League—Diaz’s recent dip in form has raised concerns. Reports indicate that he is no longer viewed as a consistently reliable attackin
