Hughes has brought in players with huge profiles, while beating competition from arch rivals and teams with much more financial power in order to sign them.
From Florian Wirtz to Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike. All of them chose Liverpool even though they had other options. But they wanted the Reds and because of that Liverpool could negotiate the best possible transfer fee for their services.
Now on top of arrivals, Hughes is also doing an excellent job with player sales.
From the £15m agreement to sell Tyler Morton to not budging on their demands for Luis Diaz in order to get Bayern Munich to pay the highest possible fee.
Jarell Quansah was also sold for a record price for a Liverpool academy player and accounted for 'pure profit.'
Now there are a few other notable players who Hughes wants to part ways with. Chiefly among them is Darwin Nunez, who has been surplus to requirements for a while.
And it looks like Liverpool are closing in on parting ways with the Uruguayan. According to Fabrizio Romano, contrary to other reports, Liverpool have agreed a deal for him to leave the club with Al Hilal.

Salah Caught Between Club and Country Ahead of Crucial September Battles
Liverpool - Arsenal Showdown Forces Delay in Egypt Captain's National Duty Salah Caught Between Club and Country Ahead of Crucial September Battles Mohamed Salah's participation with Egypt in the September international break will be delayed due to Liverpool's Premier League clash with Arsenal on 31 August. Why the Delay? Liverpool face top of the table showdown against Arsenal and Salah's expected to lead the Reds unless injury or suspension intervenes. Egypt's camp under coach Hossam Hassan begins on 1 Sep but Salah will only link up the following day after traveling from England. Egypt's World Cup Path The Pharaohs face Ethiopia in Cairo on 5 Sep before visiting Burkina Faso 4 day later. Two wins will mathematically secure Egypt's 4th World cup qualification. Egypt currently top Group A with 16 point, 5 clear of Burkina Faso with 4 rounds left. Salah's Record Chase Salah opened Liverpool's title defense by scoring in the 4 - 2 win over Bournemouth extending his unique record to 10 goal in Premier League openers. He now has 187 league goal equaling Andy Cole & trailing only Rooney (208), Kane (213) and Shearer (260). Pharaohs & Legacy For Egypt Salah stands on 57 international goal, second only to coach Hossam Hassan's 68. With World ؤup qualification on the line, the Liverpool icon could move closer to that all time record while carrying Egypt's hopes of another historic appearance.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool talks for England star
Liverpool are continuing their talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Marc Guehi. That's according to a new report from Fabrizio Romano. It strongly suggests that sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are not currently satisfied with their central defensive options. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Right now the club have got only three senior options at their disposal including Virgil van DijkIbrahima Konate and Joe Gomez. Another central defender, Giovanni Leoni, was added last week from Parma for around £26m. However, the Italian is just 18 years old - and has played only 17 top-flight games in his career. Konate doubts Would it be a gamble to throw him in at the deep end rather than letting him settle into life at the club? Then you need to factor in the complications over Konate's contract. With the defender's current deal expiring in 2026, it's been suggested he's planning on running down his contract. Real Madrid of course are lying in wait - prepared to offer the Frenchman an €18m signing-on fee. If he is to go this summer, then some succession planning will be required sooner rather than later. Guehi can solve the problem Palace are facing a similar conundrum over Guehi - with their captain's contract also up in 2026. It makes sense therefore to ship out Konate if he won't sign a new deal and bring Guehi in as a ready-made, high-class replacement. Even so, that would leave Liverpool exactly where they were numbers-wise. With Jarell Quansah having left the club, there is probably call for at least one more senior centre-back even if Konate stays through this summer. Liverpool require centre-back options And that's before we get to the issues faced by Konate and Van Dijk on Friday night against Bournemouth. Neither covered themselves in glory on Antoine Semenyo's goals and it would be nice for Arne Slot to have increased options. It is Liverpool's partnership out of necessity - and doesn't legislate for injury, suspension or a loss of form. With much of the transfer focus still on Alexander Isak at the other end of the pitch, it is Liverpool's threadbare options at centre-back that is the real issue. Slot and Richard Hughes would do well to act accordingly and push through the signing of the England international.

Caoimhin Kelleher endures nightmare debut in first Premier League game since Liverpool exit
Caoimhin Kelleher's highly anticipated Premier League debut after leaving Liverpool turned into a game to forget, as the Republic of Ireland international endured a torrid start to life at Brentford. The 26-year-old goalkeeper swapped Anfield for the Bees this summer in a deal worth an initial £12.5 million ($17m), potentially rising to £18 million ($24m) with add-ons. Kelleher, long regarded as one of the best backup goalkeepers in the Premier League during his time at Liverpool, made just 10 league appearances for the Reds across six seasons. His performances in domestic cup competitions, including his penalty heroics in the 2022 Carabao Cup final, earned him a reputation as a reliable deputy to Alisson Becker. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak stance, Ibrahima Konate talks, Marc Guehi decision READ MORE: Diogo Jota's parents brought to tears by Wolves tribute as wife Rute attends Man City game However, his determination to secure regular football saw him push for a move away from Merseyside during the summer transfer window. Yet in his league debut under new manager Keith Andrews, Kelleher had a game to forget in Brentford's opener against Nottingham Forest. Brentford found themselves trailing inside the opening five minutes. Elliot Anderson's in-swinging corner, created after Callum Hudson-Odoi's work down the flank, fell kindly for Chris Wood, and the New Zealand striker poked a bouncing effort past Kelleher into the far corner. Anderson then enjoyed a flurry of opportunities, drilling a low effort from 25 yards that lacked the power to trouble Kelleher. But Forest's pressure soon told. Gibbs-White, under pressure from Michael Kayode, whipped in a dangerous cross that Ndoye met with a clever looping header back across the goal to double the lead. The hosts struck again in first-half stoppage time, with Anderson threading a precise through ball for Wood, who calmly rounded Kelleher before slotting into an empty net to make it three. Igor Thiago coolly slotted home from the penalty spot to hand Andrews a fleeting reprieve, but the Bees were comfortably second best in the end. Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson started the game on the bench, coming on in the 69th minute. The midfielder arrived on a two-year contract after leaving Ajax last month, with both parties agreeing to terminate his deal a year ahead of schedule. says: For Kelleher, the challenge now will be to prove that this rocky start is no more than an early setback in what he hopes will be a long and successful Premier League career. With his ability to command his area, distribution under pressure, and shot-stopping pedigree, there is every chance he can recover quickly
