Liverpool have confirmed that sporting director Brian Hughes will continue in his role through the end of the summer transfer window, following a review of his performance and ongoing recruitment efforts.<\/p>\n
The club stated that no approach was received from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, which had been widely speculated in recent months. Liverpool expressed confidence that Hughes worked exclusively for them throughout the period.<\/p>\n
Hughes has maintained a close working relationship with new head coach Andoni Iraola, who joined the club this summer. Their collaboration has already yielded results, including the \u00a3123 million signing of Bradley Barcola, one of the most significant deals of the window.<\/p>\n
The decision to retain Hughes comes after Liverpool’s strong start to the season, highlighted by their Friday victory at Ipswich Town. The club has been actively working on multiple summer transfer targets, with Hughes playing a central role in identifying and securing new signings.<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s hierarchy view the continued partnership between Hughes and Iraola as crucial to their long-term strategy, ensuring stability in both recruitment and on-pitch performance as the transfer window enters its final stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
