Richard hughes nears al hilal move, will finish Liverpool summer window first

According to the latest report from Swiss Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri, Richard Hughes is close to moving to Al-Hilal, but will complete this summer's transfer window work for Liverpool.

Richard Hughes is reportedly close to taking a position at Al-Hilal, and is in advanced negotiations with Saudi officials to become Al-Hilal's new sporting director. The Saudi plan for him is to have him work on Liverpool's next transfer window before starting his work at Al-Hilal.

Richard Hughes, 46, previously served as technical director at Bournemouth for 10 years. In June 2024, he joined Liverpool as sporting director, a position he has held ever since. Earlier, he was involved in the decision to dismiss Slot and the process of appointing Iraola as the team's head coach.
