Slott: This is our position on the Mercato, and my thoughts focus on United

Liverpool coach Arne Slot appeared in a press conference to talk about facing Manchester United on Sunday in the third round of the English Premier League.


The coach began his speech: “Will the club be active on the last day of the Mercato? I don’t expect it.” Anything, but again it's not different from all the previous days - if we see an opportunity we can move."


On signing Chiesa: "I'm excited if we sign someone who can help us achieve our goals and improve our team We found someone, we are of course really excited, it is one of the best things about working here is the team culture, they work really hard to achieve goals.”


He added: “It is really important that the first player you bring in has the same attitude.” He brings the same culture. Chiesa works very hard on and off the field and combines this with scoring goals.”


Regarding Chiesa’s participation against United, he said: “He will train with us today, but there are greater chances that he will not be in the starting lineup on the day.” Sunday. If injuries occur, we may need him. I do not expect him to be with us, but I cannot guarantee that.”


He stressed: “Once again, the same applies to transfers or loans, if the right opportunity presents itself.” For the player and for us as a club, we will act. If this opportunity arises for both of them, it will come true. Frankly, my main concern is Manchester United and not the players leaving.”


He continued: “At the moment, there are no other injuries except for Curtis [Jones], who will not train with us today.”

He concluded: “Ten Hag is not my friend. We do not know each other well enough, but our relationship is good. A difficult match awaits us on Sunday. We know the atmosphere there.”
