Liverpool have an agreement in place to poach another key figure from Bournemouth, though a report claims a triple exit from the playing personnel is on the cards.
The Reds were successful with their last-ditch attempt to re-hire Michael Edwards earlier this month. Edwards has returned to the club in a greater position of power and now serves as FSG’s overarching CEO of Football.
Among Edwards’ first tasks back in the fold was to finalise the agreement that has brought Richard Hughes to Liverpool.
Hughes, 44, worked wonders as the sporting director at Bournemouth and left the Cherries in early-March ahead of agreeing a deal with Liverpool. Hughes will officially begin his new post at Liverpool on June 1.
However, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the upheaval behind the scenes has not stopped there.
Taking to X, the trusted reporter revealed Liverpool have also poached Bournemouth’s chief scout, Mark Burchill.
“Mark Burchill will follow Richard Hughes to Liverpool,” began Romano. “It’s all decided for Bournemouth chief scout to join Liverpool.
“It will be signed soon but agreement’s already in place. Edwards, Hughes and Burchill will be part of the new structure.”
