Michael Edwards is currently overseeing Liverpool’s transfer window, supporting Richard Hughes.

Arne Slot won the Premier League in his debut season in charge, and FSG are backing the Dutchman to go into the transfer market and heavily bolster the squad in an attempt to retain the title next season.

Michael Edwards is the chief executive of football for Fenway Sports Group.

During Edward’s first spell at the club, he was sporting director for Liverpool between 2016 and 2022, overseeing transfers that helped Liverpool secure their first Premier League title in 2022.

He rejoined Liverpool in 2024 as FSG’s CEO and is making a big impact already, as Liverpool undergo a transformative summer.

With the Jeremie Frimpong deal wrapped up and Florian Wirtz inches away from officially becoming Liverpool’s second signing of the window, Michael Edward’s services are eagerly sought after.

Al-Hilal recently made an approach to bring Edwards to the Saudi Pro League after holding a strong interest in him for some time but there was never a formal meeting or offer.

Edwards rejected the approach from Al-Hilal, reaffirming his commitment to staying at Liverpool.

The only contact Edwards has had with the Saudi Pro League in recent weeks is with Al-Hilal and the possibility of them signing Darwin Nunez.

Michael Edwards remains committed to FSG as he is currently playing a leading role in their search to buy a second football club.

Milos Kerkez is next on Edward’s radar, as he continues to work on building Liverpool’s squad up ahead of another exciting Premier League season.

His return to the club was very much liked by the Anfield faithful, as he is seen as one of the very best in what he does.

Further proof of that is how active Liverpool have been so far in this summer’s transfer market, something that wasn’t always evident during Jurgen Klopp’s final years as Liverpool manager.
