Former Inter Milan star, Wesley Sneijder, has cautioned incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot from signing too many Dutch players after taking charge at Anfield.
Slot is likely to take the reins from Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool in the summer.
However, Sneijder has now urged his compatriot to stay away from bringing too many Netherlands players to Liverpool.
He also cited the example of his time at Real Madrid when the Los Blancos had four players from the Netherlands and struggled to do excel.
“I would be careful with that, with bringing in too many Dutch people. I experienced that in Madrid.
“When I came, only Ruud van Nistelrooij, Royston Drenthe, and Arjen Robben were there. And the following year, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Rafael van der Vaart arrived.
“If the four of us play football somewhere, we’re not going to talk Spanish to each other, you keep talking in your mother tongue anyway. You shouldn’t start attracting too many Dutch people to you,” Sneijder said as quoted by The Liverpool World.
