Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) will hold review everything at the club, including Arne Slot’s future, at the end of the season.
Fabrizio Romano has already reported that the Liverpool board will hold a meeting to decide on Arne Slot’s future when the season concludes, but now reports that ‘everything’ at the club will be reviewed before the summer transfer window begins.
Last summer, the American owners sanctioned a hitherto unseen £460m budget. The likes of Florian Wirtz (£116m), Hugo Ekitke (£79m) and Alexander Isak (£125m) cost the club a vast amount of money, but results have not gone the way anyone expected.
At the time of writing, Liverpool are sixth in the Premier League.
That would be unacceptable if they had spent nothing in the summer.
After spending nearly half a billion pounds in a single transfer window, it’s almost surprising that Slot still has a job at Anfield.

Liverpool owners to hold ‘an internal review of everything’ before the summer transfer window
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that FSG will review everything at the club before they attack the summer transfer window again.
One thing is clear until then: Slot’s job is safe.
Romano said: “I keep repeating to you the same. So far remains the support of Liverpool for Arne Slot. They’ve always been supporting the manager in recent months, even in complicated moments. So that remains the situation.
“Nothing is about to happen on the future of Arne Slot. Then, from now to the end of the season, let’s see how Liverpool end the season, how their Champions League campaign will be.
“So there are still several factors to indicate the future of Arne Slot. So from now to the end of the season, maximum support coming from Liverpool to Arne Slot.”
Beyond Slot’s future, there are several important things the owners will need to decide on. From major contracts, both recent and upcoming, to stadium expansion plans, there is a lot that FSG will need to review.
Romano added: “Then in the summer, there will be, before the summer transfer window, an internal review of everything. Of course, the Champions League campaign and how Liverpool will finish the season could be important to understand the future of Arne Slot.”
Liverpool’s future remains extremely exciting
Although the excitement from the summer transfer window of 2025 has been tempered, it should still exist.
Liverpool sacrificed the 2025-26 season for long-term gain and with Wirtz, Ekitike and Isak yet to get a chance to play together for extended periods, the future is as bright as ever.
I remain of the opinion that Slot is not the right fit for Liverpool, but even if he is a bad fit, there are so many talented players at the squad that it’s going to be difficult to fail in the long term.
