Richard Hughes expected to leave Liverpool for Al Hilal next summer

Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes is not expected to re-sign when his contract expires next June. He is likely to join Al Hilal, reuniting with former Bournemouth colleague Simon Francis. While focused on the current transfer window, Liverpool has signed Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz this summer. Hughes played a key role in the appointment of head coach Andoni Iraola, who is entering his first season with the club. Liverpool continues its transfer activity, although interest in Yan Diomande may be unsuccessful as he favors a move to PSG.
