Arne Slot has slammed reports claiming he has been told not to select Darwin Nunez over a clause in the forward’s contract.
The Liverpool boss said: “Do you always believe what journalists say? Not always? Me neither. Sometimes you should, sometimes you shouldn’t believe what is written about players.
“It’s completely new to me. Normally sporting director is judged on players come in, the last, last, last thing he would do is tell me if you play him it would cost us this much… he’d never, never do that. He never interferes with the line-up. It might be true, but if a journalist says it we have to balance it.”
