According to the well-known media "Daily Mirror", after the end of the season, Liverpool's sporting director Edwards will officially leave office, ending a 10-year Anfield career. The departure of the top is obviously bad news for the Premier League giants, and worse, the unprofitable Florentino is pushing Edwards to join Real Madrid, and Lafayette is eager to bring him back to the Bernabeu and become the driving force behind the revival of the Galactic Battleships.
Edwards has been a great hero at Liverpool, as early as 2011, he came to Liverpool, and after becoming the sporting director, he signed stars such as Egyptian Pharaoh Salah, World Guard Van Dijk, and Portuguese rising star Jota. With Edwards leaving, Liverpool's future will also be full of unknowns, the first to bear the brunt of it is head coach Klopp, who will most likely take over the German national team after the end of the 2024 contract period, and the magical coach who once led the team to win the Premier League and Champions League may leave this club that is good at creating miracles.
In terms of players, the one most likely to leave the team is Salah. As one of the hottest strikers of the moment, Salah is currently worth 100 million euros, he has contributed 146 goals and 47 assists in his four seasons with Liverpool, and this season he has scored 30 goals in 22 games, second only to Levan, Mbappe and Benzema, which shows his importance to Liverpool. However, his contract is still a year and a half away, and Liverpool has not sent him a satisfactory contract, and the giants including Paris and Real Madrid are eyeing him.
In addition, defensive youngster Gomez is also a popular target for leaving the team. As a rising star in the England defence, Gomez has a good physique and football talent. However, perhaps jealous of talent, Gomez has been injured in recent years, and the long-term suspension has also made Klopp lose confidence in him, and he has now become Liverpool's fourth centre-back option. Not being able to play at Liverpool also made Southgate abandon the idea of recruiting Gomez, and now he has become a marginal figure in England, with playing time occupied by Stones and Maguire.
However, for Real Madrid, due to the departure of Ramos and Varane, the team's backline is very short of manpower, there is no other choice but two decent centre-backs, Militang and Nacho, and Ancelotti cannot expect Alaba to make a cameo at center-back every time, so reinforcement is necessary. After Edwards' arrival, he was able to emulate AC Milan's transfer style on loan to Tomori, which not only saved the new owner a lot of money, but also hoped to help Gomez to another spring in his career.
The change of the top level has always been a major event for a giant team. Since joining Liverpool, Edwards has witnessed the Reds' revival, whether it is the Champions League or the league, which has his share of credit. If he moves to Real Madrid as he wishes next season, the turnover of personnel between the two teams will become more frequent, and it is worth looking forward to what heavy transfers will occur at that time.
