According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool is on the verge of finalizing an agreement to bring Michael Edwards back to the club, with the deal considered imminent. Edwards, who previously served as sporting director for nearly a decade, played a crucial role in overseeing the club’s transformation under Jurgen Klopp’s leadership.
Having stepped down in 2022, Edwards will not be returning as sporting director but will instead be promoted to oversee football operations within FSG, Liverpool’s ownership group. Richard Hughes, set to depart from Bournemouth at the end of the season, is expected to fill the role of sporting director.
Romano’s update follows recent reports indicating Liverpool’s close proximity to rehiring Edwards, signaling continued progress towards finalizing the deal and the potential for an imminent announcement. Edwards’ return would hold significant importance for Liverpool as they seek to establish a solid structure for the post-Klopp era, ensuring continuity amid the departure of one of the club’s most influential figures.
With Liverpool aiming for stability and success in the upcoming era, the efforts to secure Edwards’ return underscore the club’s commitment to building on past achievements and navigating the transition period with confidence.
