Recent reports claiming that Liverpool’s football chief Michael Edwards has agreed to join a club in Saudi Arabia are understood to be wide of the mark.

Edwards, currently in his second spell at Anfield, has reportedly agreed to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.



According to recent claims in Saudi Arabia, Edwards has verbally accepted an offer made by the club last month and is expected to sign the paperwork to become Al-Hilal’s next sporting director.

Al-Hilal, arguably the most prominent club in Saudi Arabia, is keen to boost its global profile.

Bringing in Edwards, one of soccer's most respected sporting directors, would be a major step toward achieving that goal.

However, journalist Ben Jacobs has taken to X claiming that while Edwards has recently spoken to Al-Hilal, it has only been due to its interest in Darwin Nunez, describing the reports as "wide of the mark."
