Michael Edwards returns "on horseback" in Liverpool

Edwards returns to the big port is no longer just a sports director with a big database on his computer. He is the absolute ruler of Liverpool's football department and has the sole goal of making its fans and management smile again...

Michael Edwards now return at Liverpool where he will seek to regain the success of the past

In the summer of 2022, he had left voluntarily after when he asked the management of the English team to give him more responsibilities, they, for their own reasons, refused it. Thus, the man who, by general admission by the leaders of FSG (a multinational company that owns Liverpool) is the greatest seal of successful work, and of immeasurable contribution to the return of Liverpool to the European elite, is now coming back and even upgraded. And of course with higher earnings.


After all, Michael Edwards was the one who, with smart and measured actions, had managed to get Liverpool stars of great value such as Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Gini Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Alisson and Mohamed Salah. And of course these are just some of the golden deals that had forced enemies and friends to deify him.

Mo Salah a great signs of Michael Edwards for Liverpool. Here in his presentation with

Now his role is not limited to simply going to the market and finding the most expensive target. It has to do with the development of the talents and the long-term deals that he will sign very soon.



Mo Salah


After all, who can forget the Egyptian Mohamed Salah transfer affair where Edwards had to clash with Klopp to land the great international striker he turned out to be. The German coach then insisted on the case of his countryman, Julian Brandt who was playing at Bayer Leverkusen. But Edwards, who was Liverpool's technical director at the time, managed to convince him to proceed together in a purchase that would change the modern history of the club.


Earlier there were other moves like that of Andrew Robertson, who was acquired in 2017 for just 10 million euros, from relegated Hull, or Virgil van Dijk with a transfer record for a defender of 84 million euros (he got him from Southampton) in January 2018. In short, smart purchases that played a great role in the club's growth.


At the same time as a master with an excellent command of the language of business, Edwards managed to cover the balance and the cost of transfers by selling names that did not... shine. Kevin Stewart, Jordan Abe, Dominic Solanke, Christian Benteke, Danny Ings, Ryan Brewster, Brad Smith, Danny Ward, Mamadou Sakho are indicative of some of the "fuel" through which Edwards managed to... generate money and cover the transfer balance, with the icing on the cake the record-breaking sale of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in January 2018 for €135 million!


So Michael Edwards who returns to the big port is no longer just a sports director with a big database on his computer. He is the absolute ruler of Liverpool's football department and has the sole goal of making its fans and management smile again...
