LiverpoolSummary
Liverpool are in the middle of a substantial summer rebuild, with activity on and off the pitch shaping the club's direction under new head coach Andoni Iraola. The most significant off-field development is the expected departure of sporting director Richard Hughes, who is reportedly set to join Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, reuniting with former colleague Simon Francis. His exit, reported by GOAL, adds to a broader sense of transition at Anfield following a disappointing 2025-26 campaign that Jurgen Klopp described as one where "nobody was happy".
On the transfer front, Liverpool have moved decisively in one area, completing the £60 million signing of French defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes on a five-year deal, as confirmed by GOAL. The pursuit of a wide attacker has proved more complicated. Top target Yan Diomande is pushing to join PSG rather than move to Merseyside, forcing the club to explore alternatives including PSG's Bradley Barcola, according to GOAL. Concerns also surround Virgil van Dijk, with AC Milan identifying the Liverpool captain as their primary defensive target this summer, while Al-Ahli have launched a move for Mohamed Salah.
Away from transfers, Liverpool unveiled a permanent memorial to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva at Anfield ahead of the first anniversary of their deaths, with the 'Forever 20' tribute standing on 97 Avenue as a lasting place of remembrance. The club's next competitive action is a pre-season friendly against Sunderland on July 25.
