Feyenoord star Igor Paixao has taken the opportunity to send a message to Arne Slot after being asked about a potential reunion with his former manager at Liverpool in the upcoming transfer window.

The 24-year-old Brazilian was instrumental in Feyenoord’s Dutch Cup victory last season under Slot, who has now taken over the reins at Anfield following Jurgen Klopp’s departure. With a tally of 12 goals across competitions for the Dutch side, Paixao’s name has been swirling in transfer rumors.

Numerous Feyenoord players have been linked with Liverpool, despite claims Slot is reluctant to make too many signings from the Netherlands. Paixao’s is not a name that has been particularly linked with Anfield, but when ased directly about the rumors he did little to quell speculation and took the chance to send some compliments to Slot’s

Paixao told Globo Esporte: “I only see this on social media. (The fans) don’t want me to leave Feyenoord, but it doesn’t depend on me. Together with my agents and the board of directors we will decide the best path to follow.

“I’m listening and watching on social media. A lot of people are always tagging me and asking: are you going to Liverpool? I don’t know anything, I’m just waiting. But Dutch football is really cool. The intensity is what makes it different.
