A closer look at how the new-look Liverpool will operate and why it could open up exciting new transfer avenues at Anfield
For someone whose last act as a Liverpool employee was to perform air guitar in the front row of a Lighting Seeds set, it's only fitting that Michael Edwards is now getting the band back together.
Edwards, as FSG's first-ever 'CEO of football' - a bespoke position created specifically for him - has wasted little time getting the key cogs in place since he was officially confirmed in March. Put simply, the Reds' sprawling network of contacts will be bolstered significantly by the appointment of each going forward, which could open a range of new avenues at Anfield.
Indeed it was Edwards's discovery of a relatively modest release clause of £7m that allowed the Reds to snare Japan international Minamino from Red Bull Salzburg in late 2019. Mane was already a Southampton player by the time he moved in 2016 but background checks from Salzburg, where the Senegal star spent two years between 2012 and 2014, helped interest intensify.
