Listen in the appLiverpool’s summer transfer window is starting to take shape, but how much influence will the manager actually have on new signings?
In this deep dive, we break down how recruitment decisions are really made behind the scenes at Liverpool FC, and whether a change in manager would impact incoming players. With the club’s structure led by the sporting director, the focus remains on long-term planning rather than short-term managerial preferences.
We also explore the growing links to exciting young talents, including Archie Gray, who has now emerged as a genuine midfield target. Alongside him, names like Adam Wharton continue to circulate as part of a potential midfield rebuild.
