Liverpool's key decision-makers, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, are expected to stay in their positions for the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite uncertainty surrounding their futures, both are contracted until 2027.

The club is set to face a crucial summer, following a disappointing title defense and questions over Arne Slot's future. Hughes and Edwards have overseen significant spending, including a record £500m last summer, but the club is satisfied with their work. Their priorities will include finding a replacement for Mohamed Salah and getting the most out of big-money signings like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.

Since 2024, Hughes and Edwards have spent £459m, offset by £290m in player sales. Speculation had surrounded Hughes' future due to interest from Al Hilal, while doubts about Edwards' position arose after FSG reportedly shelved plans for a multi-club model.

The duo was responsible for hiring Slot, who led the team to a title in his first season. However, a change in spending strategy last summer backfired, with the team now fighting for Champions League qualification.
