Liverpool's head coach, Arne Slot, spoke at the press conference held before his team's match against Leicester City in the 33rd round of the Premier League, which will take place on Sunday evening at the King Power Stadium.

The match will kick off at 5:30 PM Cairo time and 6:30 PM Mecca time, and the Reds hope to return with three points to continue the battle for the Premier League title.

Slot said about the team's needs in the transfer market: "For me, I see this summer being quite significant. We are very happy with the current team, and if we manage to keep our stars, it will be an extremely successful summer. Renewing Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk is a fantastic step."

Regarding the renewal of Virgil van Dijk's contract, he said: "This reflects the true ambition of the club. We want to keep our best players, especially those who have performed remarkably over consecutive seasons. Our ability to extend their contracts even at the last moment shows the strength of the football project within Liverpool."

On the future of Alexander-Arnold with the team, he said: "Arnold recently returned from injury and participated in training yesterday. Every time he joins the team, he shows great commitment, and when he steps onto the pitch, he proves to be an exceptional player. We definitely want him to continue with us."

Regarding the competition in the Premier League this season, he said: "We have won five of the last six matches, and the entire season has been full of challenges. Except for three or four matches, all the games have been extremely tough. Most of the victories came by a margin of just one or two goals. The Premier League is highly competitive."

In response to recent criticisms directed at the team, he said: "We did not make radical changes to the team last summer, yet our level has not dropped. I do not get too caught up in what is said about us or what is written. My focus is entirely on the team and the work on the pitch."

On the possibility of making changes to the team lineup, he said: "It is important to maintain the stability of the starting lineup as long as the required performance is delivered. However, at the same time, it can sometimes be beneficial to introduce one or two elements to refresh the energy. This is not always necessary, but we value the quality of the available players."
