Tension is reportedly brewing inside the Liverpool camp as one **first-team midfielder** is preparing to **leave Anfield in the January transfer window**, following a fallout with manager **Arne Slot**.
According to reports, the player was left deeply **unhappy with comments made by Slot** after the recent run of poor results — including defeats to **Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Manchester United**. The Dutch manager’s remarks, which questioned the team’s “mental strength and attitude,” are said to have **offended several players**, but one midfielder in particular took it personally.
An insider revealed that the midfielder felt **“singled out and disrespected”** during a private team meeting, believing that Slot’s words undermined his contribution and leadership within the squad.
> “He’s not happy. He feels he’s lost the trust of the coach and that it’s time to move on,” a source close to the player told reporters.
The midfielder — whose name has been kept under wraps pending official confirmation — has already attracted **interest from several top European clubs**, with negotiations expected to accelerate once the January window opens.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are said to be open to listening to offers if the right bid arrives, especially with Arne Slot eager to rebuild the midfield in his own image.
With morale in the camp already shaken by recent defeats, this developing situation could be the latest sign that **major changes are coming at Anfield** in the months ahead.
