Michael Edwards working on dream double deal Liverpool are now working on a dream double deal. Michael Edwards’ position has come under fire in recent days with the revelation that FSG’s plan to buy a second club has become ‘dormant. ’ Edwards was brought in at Liverpool to oversee not only the Reds’ operations from a football perspective but also potentially another club’s under FSG’s umbrella.

This doesn’t seem likely to happen anymore and that could see Edwards’ focus return solely back on Liverpool. That would be great news because the club’s former sporting director was excellent at his job. Edwards was always attentive and listened to his recruitment team.

Because of his nous for spotting talent he was able to find some absolute gems who would turn out to be superstars during his first tenure. It’s this that Liverpool could be returning to - especially if the latest report is to be believed. And especially because Liverpool are embarking on one of the most difficult periods in the club's recent history.

Not only has the Reds' form slumped under Arne Slot but they are also approaching the end of an era. Mo Salah has already announced his decision to leave the club. It will only be a matter of time until Virgil van Dijk will follow suit, given he only has one year left on his current deal come the summer.
