Liverpool transfer rumors may soon be free from significant disclaimers. Currently, it is difficult to envision how FSG might be formulating any definite strategies without the presence of both a manager and sporting director for the upcoming season.
However, progress is being made in that area. Michael Edwards appears to be prepared to assume a comprehensive position, with Richard Hughes serving as the subordinate sporting director. It is expected that a successor to Jürgen Klopp will be appointed in the near future.
Despite the vacancy in that post, Liverpool is nearing the establishment of a system that will enable genuine transfer activity. It is possible that Edwards, who is known for being quite thorough, is already exploring his surroundings in anticipation of being reappointed.
