Richard Hughes staying at Liverpool amid Saudi Pro League links
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club in the last few weeks.
Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly interested in securing the signature of Richard Hughes. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the coming months.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Hughes will be continuing at Liverpool despite the interest from the Saudi Pro League. He has done an impressive job since taking over as the club’s sporting director, helping Liverpool sign several quality players.
The Premier League champions spent an unprecedented amount of money in the summer transfer window, and they have brought in multiple quality players. Although the Reds have not been able to assert their influence yet, they are all talented players with a bright future. They could easily develop into key players for the club with the right guidance.
It is no surprise that Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in appointing the Liverpool director. He is highly rated within the game. However, Liverpool are looking to build a formidable project, and they need to hold onto the key members behind the scenes.
Hughes will play a key role in helping them build a formidable squad for the future. He has no reason to leave the English club, and the Saudi outfit will find it difficult to convince him and Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have made a mixed start to the season, and they are third in the Premier League table. It will be interesting to see if they can put together a winning run now and get closer to league leaders Arsenal. They will be hoping to get the best out of their new signings as well. All of them are quality players, and they have proven that at their previous clubs.
They are still adapting to their new surroundings, and Hughes will certainly hope that they can perform at a high level in the coming months. His transfer business earlier this summer is under scrutiny because of Liverpool’s start to the season, but there is no doubt that he signed quality players who could transform Liverpool into a formidable side.
