"Forget Transition": Gary Neville Slams Arne Slot’s Excuse After Liverpool’s £450m Spending Spree

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has delivered a stinging critique of Arne Slot, dismissing the Liverpool manager's claim that the club is in a "transition season." Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville argued that after a £450 million summer investment in stars like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, combined with contract extensions for Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool should be title contenders, not sitting in 6th place.

The controversy comes amidst renewed rumors regarding Mohamed Salah's future. Despite being tied to Anfield until 2027, the Egyptian’s link to the Saudi Pro League persists as Liverpool struggles to maintain consistency in the Premier League. As Slot prepares for a crucial Champions League clash with Qarabag, the pressure mounts to prove that the heavy investments can yield immediate results and keep Salah committed to the "Reds" project.
