The manager also highlighted the challenges Liverpool faces in finding a suitable and affordable replacement, given the club's high standards and recent success. Overall, Slot stressed respect for Alexander-Arnold's contributions and encouraged a positive atmosphere as Liverpool concludes a title-winning season.
