Liverpool's Transfer Decision-Makers to Stay On for Summer

Key figures Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards will continue to lead Liverpool's transfer efforts this summer, despite uncertainty surrounding their positions. Both are contracted until 2027 and are expected to oversee a crucial summer at Anfield. The club has faced criticism for its record-breaking £500m spend last summer, which has not yielded the desired results. Hughes and Edwards have been responsible for £459m in spending since 2024, including big-money signings like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. They have also offset some of this expenditure by selling £290m-worth of talent. The pair will focus on replacing Mohamed Salah and getting the best out of recent signings. There has been speculation about Hughes' future due to interest from Al Hilal, while Edwards' position was uncertain after FSG shelved plans for a multi-club model. However, both are set to remain in place, having previously overseen a successful title win under Arne Slot.
