Liverpool manager Arne Slot doesn't expect a like-for-like replacement to be signed for departing legend Mohamed Salah.

Slot concedes Liverpool's transfer policy will mean there's be no blockbuster name lined up to succeed Salah.

"Our model is completely clear, that is not to say we cannot make an exception because the club signed Wataru Endo and maybe Federico Chiesa was a little bit above the age we usually sign," he said.

"I don't think that if this club has been successful the way we are having, we are going to change our model completely after a season that has not been so great.

"Especially because in the 16 years they are here, they have not won the league 16 times.

"There were more seasons where results were not as expected but they have always kept the same model which I signed for, which (Liverpool sporting director) Richard (Hughes) signed for and which we are all aligned for."
