Liverpool are facing another significant period of transition behind the scenes as sporting director Richard Hughes is expected to leave Anfield for the Saudi Pro League. The 47-year-old is reportedly set to reunite with former colleague Simon Francis at Al-Hilal, marking a major coup for the Riyadh-based giants as they poach a top-level European executive talent.

AC Milan have identified Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk as their primary defensive target this summer following the €70 million signing of Goncalo Ramos.

Liverpool have officially announced the signing of Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes in a deal worth up to £60 million ($80m). The highly-rated French defender has put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Anfield, ending a long-running pursuit that saw the Reds beat off stiff competition from several European heavyweights.

Al-Ahli have identified Mohamed Salah as their primary summer transfer target as the Saudi Pro League continues its aggressive pursuit of the world’s elite talent. The Jeddah-based club is looking to secure a marquee signing following the high-profile departure of Riyad Mahrez.
