Liverpool Targets Midfielder Noah Sadiki as Former Coach Arne Slot Eyes Netherlands Job

Liverpool are reported to be scouting Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki after his strong World Cup showing for DR Congo, where he impressed against England. The 22‑year‑old, who joined Sunderland for £15 million last summer, is seen as a defensive‑oriented option to replace Alexis Mac Allister, with a potential fee around £60 million.

Former Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Ronald Koeman as the Netherlands national team manager. Koeman resigned on 1 July following the Dutch side’s knockout by Morocco in the 2026 World Cup round of 32. Slot, praised for his attacking, possession‑based style, is being considered alongside Erik ten Hag for the role.

Both developments highlight Liverpool’s restructuring on and off the pitch, with the club seeking to strengthen its midfield while its former manager pursues an international appointment.
