With Slot yet to make public his transfer priorities, Liverpool are being linked with an endless stream of potential targets. One such name is 26-year-old attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, who reportedly has a release clause of £51million in his RB Leipzig contract with Manchester City and Barcelona said to be among clubs monitoring his situation.
"He’s a very smart player too, with a lot of resources to hurt defences, and he’s so good, here in Spain everyone would like to see him in a big team here. But outside of Spain he’s certainly a player who’ll surely be one of the great Spanish players on the wider European football scene should he move away."
But Morientes - speaking on behalf of BoyleSports, who offer the latest Champions League betting - is convinced Gerrard will succeed in the dugout.
