Liverpool's owners will hold showdown talks with Arne Slot at the end of the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Slot insists he feels the “complete support” of the Liverpool hierarchy as he comes under growing pressure following three consecutive defeats.
After seeing their FA Cup campaign end in a 4-0 quarter-final loss to Manchester City a week ago, Liverpool’s Champions League hopes hang by a thread following Wednesday’s 2-0 quarter-final first leg loss to Paris St Germain.
A 2-1 loss at Brighton in their last league outing left the defending champions fifth, scrapping for Champions League qualification and talk that Slot is fighting for his job, a year on from winning the Premier League, has grown around Anfield.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot reacts during the match
“I’m repeating myself a lot but I’ve said many times I feel a lot of support, not only from the owners and from Richard (Hughes, sporting director) and Michael (Edwards, chief executive), I feel a lot of support from them as well,” Slot said ahead of Saturday’s match against Fulham.
“But as weird as it might sound, I also feel the support of the fans. We were going out in Paris, when the players went out for the warm-up and the fans, after a 4-0 loss, immediately start singing ‘We love you, Liverpool’.
“And after we were – I think it’s fair to say – outplayed over 90 minutes, we went to the away end and they were still singing for us and clapping for us so that support I’ve felt that constantly.
“I’ve said many times the club knows which period of time we are in and in the meantime I feel complete support.”
Fabrizio Romano shares Arne Slot sack update
Romano, speaking on his Youtube channel, refuted claims Slot could be sacked before the end of the season, but confirmed the manager will face questions from the club's leadership this summer.
"What I can tell you, is a really important point about Arne Slot.
"My information remains the same, at the end of the season - not today, not next week, not in two weeks - at the end of the season, Liverpool, the management but also the owners, so the important people at Liverpool, will meet.
"They will decide about summer strategies, exits, and also the situation with the manager."

Alisson could leave Liverpool this summer
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson have both confirmed their decisions to leave Liverpool this summer, and it seems another club legend could be following them out the exit door.

Indeed, reports in Italy this week suggest Inter and Juventus will battle it out to sign Alisson Becker, who will have just 12 months remaining on his contract at the end of the season.
Inter have been strongly linked with a move for Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, but could turn to the Brazilian if they cannot agree a deal with Spurs.
