Arne Slot faces ongoing questions over his long-term future at Liverpool, but when does the head coach’s current contract expire and are there talks planned?
Arne Slot Liverpool Contract Expiry: The State of Play
**Arne Slot**‘s current Liverpool contract expires on June 30, 2027. The Dutchman signed a three-year deal upon his arrival from Feyenoord in the summer of 2024.
Joined: June 2024
Today: Jan 2026
Expires: June 2027
Slot is currently 19 months into his 36-month contract.
While the prospect of Slot signing a new deal and extending his stay at Anfield seemed a no-brainer after Liverpool lifted the Premier League title in May, the landscape has changed significantly.
After a record-breaking summer spend and under the weight of expectation, Slot’s side have struggled throughout 2025/26 so far.
During a run of nine losses in 12 games there were growing calls for the head coach to be relieved of his duties – and though an improvement in results has seen those muffled, they certainly have not gone away.
So what do we know about Arne Slot‘s contract?

When does Arne Slot’s contract expire?
Arne Slot‘s current terms will officially run out on June 30, 2027, after the end of his third season in charge of Liverpool.
That comes with the 47-year-old signing an initial three-year contract upon his move from Feyenoord in 2024, having been identified as successor to Jurgen Klopp.
What are Arne Slot’s wages at Liverpool?
Arne Slot earns a basic wage of €8 million (£7m) per year at Liverpool with various bonuses based on performance, according to Dutch publication De Telegraaf.
Jurgen Klopp‘s salary was significantly higher at €24 million (£20.8m) per year, as claimed by Ralph-Uwe Schaffert, vice-president of the German FA, in 2023 per Focus.
This gap in pay reflects Klopp’s longevity and seniority at the club, with the German signing four contracts during his near-decade at Liverpool from 2015 to 2024 – his first extension came after just nine months as manager.

Will Liverpool offer Arne Slot a new deal?
Liverpool were in the process of initiating talks with Arne Slot‘s representative Rafaela Pimenta as recently as October, according to the Mail‘s Lewis Steele.
It is likely, however, that negotiations have been parked given the circumstances this season, despite sources from the club insisting the Dutchman’s job is not in danger.
Are Liverpool planning to sack Arne Slot?
No, Liverpool are not currently planning to sack Arne Slot, according to reliable sources in the Merseyside press including The Athletic’s James Pearce.
Speaking to Off the Ball Radio (Jan 7, 2026), Pearce explained: “My information is that his job is not in any jeopardy at the moment.
“When I speak to people who are senior at Liverpool, there is a lot of compassion and understanding for the things Slot has had to contend with,” the journalist added.
What has Arne Slot said about his Liverpool contract?
As seen in the clip above Arne Slot was asked about the possibility of contract talks during Liverpool’s recent slump and refused to reveal any development, telling reporters: “Let us first start to win again.”
“That is the last question I was expecting!” Slot said in October.
“I think my focus can be completely on getting Liverpool back to winning ways. That’s my first answer.
“The second answer is that contract talks – if they are even there – we never speak about this here. But let us first start to win again, that’s where my main focus is.”
