This summer, for example, both Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards managed to completely transform Liverpool’s ranks by spending over £450million on new players. The 2025-26 summer transfer window was the biggest shake-up at Anfield since the summer of 2018, when players such as Alisson and Fabinho were welcomed through Liverpool’s doors.

Although Schmadtke’s Liverpool stint was short and sweet, it still made some massive changes to the club.

The report begins by stating that it’s ‘logical’ for Schmadtke’s name to appear after Monchengladbach’s recent shortcomings.However, he may not be alone at the Bundesliga outfit, with Jan Schlaudraff also rumoured to be interested in a return as he’s a good ‘buddy’ of Schmadtke’s. At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen, but for now, it feels like the Reds are in a good position to triumph over Enzo Maresca’s men and get back to winning ways.
