Liverpool manager Arne Slot has openly voiced his concerns over Manchester City’s latest high-profile signing, suggesting it could tilt the balance of power in the Premier League.
In a press conference, Slot acknowledged the impact of City’s new addition, describing them as the clear favorites to win the league title.
“We did everything to try and sign him, but he chose City over us—it was a massive disappointment,” Slot revealed.
“This player joining City is giving me sleepless nights. They’ve added someone who can make them truly unstoppable. Their squad depth was already incredible, and now they’ve become even stronger.”
Although Slot did not mention the player’s name, reports indicate that it involves one of Europe’s most highly coveted talents. The deal is seen as a key move by City to further solidify their dominance under Pep Guardiola.
Slot continued, “City’s ability to strengthen their team every transfer window is unmatched. With this latest signing, they’re undoubtedly the team to beat. It’s hard not to feel overwhelmed when you see the quality they’ve built over the years.”
City’s transfer strategy has consistently been praised for enhancing an already exceptional squad, and this new addition only boosts their title chances.
Slot’s comments highlight the increased competition in the Premier League and the challenge other clubs face in trying to keep up.
“We have to stay focused and do everything to remain competitive,” Slot added. “But with City’s current strength, the challenge becomes exponentially harder. This new player is a game-changer for them.”
As the January transfer window progresses, all eyes are on Manchester City and how their new signing will fit into their already dominant side. Slot’s frank remarks underscore the growing pressure on rival teams to contend with a squad that now appears even more formidable.
