Liverpool fans are convinced they spotted a major transfer hint in the new adidas kits that were unveiled this month.
The likes of Sir Kenny Dalglish, Jamie Carragher, Ceri Holland and Virgil van Dijk were all drafted in to star in the campaign, which dropped on Friday August 1.
But one player was absent from the promotional shoot, leaving Liverpool fans convinced it was a decision based on speculation around his future.
Did you spot who was missing from the lineup here?
The player in question failed to cement himself as a starter for Liverpool under Slot, after falling out of favour with Jurgen Klopp towards the end of his time at the club.
And it seems fans' suspicions were true, with Darwin Nunez now confirmed to be leaving the Reds for Al-Hilal in a reported 53m euros (£46.3m) three-year contract.
