Key decision-makers Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards are expected to remain at Liverpool for the upcoming summer transfer window, despite uncertainty surrounding their positions. Both are under contract until 2027 and are anticipated to play crucial roles in the club's summer plans, following a disappointing title defense and questions over manager Arne Slot's future.
The club has faced criticism for its record-breaking £500m spend last summer, which has not yielded the desired results. However, it is understood that Liverpool is satisfied with the work of Hughes and Edwards, who have overseen £459m in spending since 2024, offset by £290m in player sales.
Their priorities will include finding a replacement for Mohamed Salah and getting the best out of big-money signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. Hughes and Edwards were responsible for hiring Slot and led the club to a record-equalling 20th English league title in their first season together.
