Liverpool transfer talks CONFIRMED for 'INCREDIBLE' £50m signing | OneFootball

Richard Hughes has come under scrutiny but he could be on the verge of completing a great transfer for the Reds.

The Liverpool sporting director has had a difficult start to life in his new role.

This summer's transfer window will be viewed as a failure for many with Hughes not being able to convince Martin Zubimendi to join the club and 'only' bringing in Federico Chiesa to the current Liverpool squad.

The agreed future transfer of Giorgi Mamardashvili could prove to be a major coup. However, the jury is out on that front for now.

Meanwhile, Hughes has also failed to address Liverpool's contract crisis. Despite Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah all having expiring contracts at the end of the year, the trio are yet to sign extensions with the club.

Considering they will be able to negotiate with other clubs outside of England January onwards, that's a worrying development. However, Hughes could be about to redeem himself with an exciting transfer, who could be exactly what Arne Slot needs.
