Liverpool have put Jurgen Klopp’s £4million mansion up for sale after his successor Arne Slot turned down the opportunity to move in, according to reports.
Slot has taken on Klopp’s old role with relative ease after leading the Reds to second place in the league after a strong start to his debut campaign at the club.
However, up to this point the Dutchman seems willing to emulate his predecessor, after rejecting the opportunity to move to his old home.
According the sunSlot and his wife Mirjam were shown the seven-bedroom house, but they didn’t like it and are deciding their next move.
The outlet claims that the Merseyside giants put the gated property on the market and therefore ended a 20-year tie with the house.
Arne Slot has reportedly turned down the opportunity to move into Jurgen Klopp’s former home.

The mansion has three lounges, a home cinema, an indoor swimming pool, a garden and is located on one of the most expensive streets in Merseyside.
A source said: “The club identified him as an ideal base for incoming coaches.”
Arne was offered it when he took over in the summer, but decided to live elsewhere. That is why the club has decided to reduce its losses.”
The mansion has three lounges, a home cinema, an indoor swimming pool, a garden and is located on one of the most expensive streets in Merseyside, Victoria Road, which is often known as ‘Millionaires Row’.
Liverpool bought him from former manager Brendan Rodgers, who in turn bought him from former captain Steven Gerrard.
Rodgers was sacked in October 2015 but kept the property and rented it to Klopp.
Four years later, Liverpool bought the property as an investment and is said to have allowed Klopp to stay rent-free.
Klopp then lived in Formby with his wife Ulla Sandrock until his departure from the Reds earlier this year.

The property was previously owned by former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
Prior to his arrival at Liverpool, Slot revealed that he had contacted Klopp, but evidently not for the purpose of buying a house.
Speaking at the time, Slot said: “I think it’s normal that if you go to a new club you contact the current manager.”
“I also did this at Feyenoord. It is normal, all the knowledge that a person has from working a few years at the club or nine in this case, that you contact him.’
