Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has been conducting in-person transfer negotiations in Europe, according to sources close to the club. The talks, which took place in late May 2026, are part of Liverpool's preparations for the summer transfer window.
While specific targets were not confirmed, Hughes is believed to be focusing on reinforcing the squad ahead of the 2026-27 season. Liverpool are expected to be active in the market following a mixed 2025-26 campaign.
The club has not issued an official statement, but insiders indicate that discussions involved potential midfield and defensive additions. Hughes, who joined Liverpool in 2024, has been tasked with overseeing the club's long-term recruitment strategy.
