Iraola is expected to be officially unveiled as Slot's successor within days; Liverpool still plan five summer signings, with finding a Salah replacement their top priority.
Liverpool have officially confirmed Slot's departure after finishing fifth in the Premier League, a result that has sparked controversy. Gerrard says he saw it coming, while Bournemouth boss Iraola is the leading candidate for the Anfield hot seat.
After Liverpool dismissed Arne Slot at the end of the season, Mohamed Salah has reportedly held urgent talks with his agent and may reverse his decision to leave and remain at Anfield.
Konaté remains determined to leave Liverpool even after Slot's departure and has already informed his teammates; whether Salah will stay at the club remains uncertain.
Italian media report Liverpool are in talks with Inter over a move for Curtis Jones; the Reds have struggled in their title defense and Arne Slot's team selection has come under scrutiny.
Liverpool are looking to secure RB Leipzig winger Yann Diomande before the World Cup. He has 13 goals and 10 assists from 36 appearances this season, with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain also in the hunt; Leipzig could demand around €150 million.
The former Liverpool manager now oversees Red Bull's transfer operations; Leipzig have no intention of selling Yann Diomande this summer, leaving the Reds' plans to bolster their wide attack in limbo.
With Salah's exit looming, Liverpool are accelerating their front-line rebuild; talks over Diomandé have stalled, and Spanish winger Nico Williams has emerged as a leading replacement target.
The Reds lead the race for Nico Williams, while Salah signs off with a 1-1 draw against Brentford in his farewell.
After the 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa, Salah posted calling for a return to heavy-metal football, only for Slot to push back at his press conference. Liverpool have taken just one point from their last three Premier League games and sit fifth.
