This is after a summer of unprecedented change and spending. Liverpool have broken their club record to sign Florian Wirtz, and paid hefty sums to bring in Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez.
But that investment is not enough in order to replace some of the club's departed stars. Liverpool need to provide depth in the attacking and defensive areas.
Particularly at centre-back, where currently Arne Slot has just three senior options to choose from, one of them is injured in Joe Gomez.
Hughes still has just less than three weeks to get deals over the line and according to Romano he's currently working on a double transfer that could be mega business from him yet again.

Given Liverpool's depth in the centre-back department, they probably need not just one but two new arrivals this summer. They were already a man short last season, and that's before Jarell Quansah departed for pastures new.
So there is a need here to improve that department and Hughes is working on what could be a mega double deal according to Fabrizio Romano.
Posting on his X account, Romano confirmed that Liverpool are working on a deal to sign both Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni.
While previously others have suggested it's one or the other, Romano here has clarified that Liverpool want to sign both, which means there is the potential for an incredible double deal.

Stunning Upper East Side Gilded Age mansion will be gutted and turned into private club for NYC elites
One of the Upper East Side's most prominent and last Gilded Age mansions is slated for a sweeping interior teardown, part of a plan to transform the 1903 landmark into a members-only private club with residences above. Permits recently filed with the Department of Buildings outline a $19 million renovation at 854 Fifth Avenue that would strip out and reconfigure more than half of the property's footprint — which includes adding a rooftop extension and enclosing the courtyard for expanded dining space, according to Crains. The exterior, protected under the city's landmark designation, is expected to remain intact. The mansion is roughly 16,000 square feet. Plans include reimagining the lower floors as dining rooms, lounges, and a bar for club members — while the top two levels will hold three private apartments totaling around 6,000 square feet. Once permits are approved, construction will soon begin. 8 Plans are moving forward to convert the landmarked Gilded Age mansion at 854 Fifth Avenue into a members-only private club. Douglas Elliman Realty/Scott Win 8 The $19 million renovation will include gutting the interior. Gamut Photos Inc. The Beaux Arts townhouse – designed by Warren and Wetmore, the architects behind Grand Central Terminal and the New York Yacht Club — has been vacant since 2018. It previously served as the Permanent Mission of the former Yugoslavia to the United Nations. In 2022, the 30-foot-wide mansion that sits between 66th and 67th streets changed hands for $50 million in an all-cash deal. Records link the purchase to Qatari investor Abdulhadi Al-Hajri, who has made high-profile acquisitions, including London's Ritz Hotel. 8 Vacant since 2018, the property was formerly the Permanent Mission of Yugoslavia to the UN and was sold in 2022 for $50 million in an all-cash deal to an entity connected to Qatari businessman Abdulhadi Al-Hajri.

Rory McIlroy turned down chance to be Ryder Cup playing captain
Rory McIlroy has spent much of the last decade as the emotional leader and constant on Europe's Ryder Cup teams, making his future as a captain an inevitability. He said on Wednesday, however, that it will not be until he's done as a player. 'The idea of me being a playing captain sometime soon has come up, and I've shot it down straight away,' McIlroy told reporters at the BMW Championship outside of Baltimore. 'I don't think you can do it.' Advertisement While McIlroy did not specify what 'sometime soon' means, the 2027 Ryder Cup is headed to Ireland, not far from the 36-year-old's boyhood home in Northern Ireland. Current European captain Luke Donald is already repeating his captaincy after the 2023 success, but there's no obvious successor. The United States faced this situation after Marco Simone and thought outside the box, going with Keegan Bradley. It's created a dominant storyline for the U.S. team, as Bradley sits 10th in the current Ryder Cup standings and faces the quandary of whether or not to pick himself to play. He would be the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer. 'I definitely think he's one of the best 12 American players right now. That's why everyone is so interested, and it's such a compelling case, and it's going to be— I'm just as interested as everyone else to see how it all plays out,' McIlroy said. The Ryder Cup has undergone dramatic changes since Palmer's days, becoming one of the most significant events on the golf calendar, with massive crowds and intense media attention. The captain operates as a head coach of sorts, leading his team throughout the week, while also serving as the public face of the team. 'You think about the extra media that a captain has to do, you think about the extra meetings that the captains have to do with the vice captains, with the PGA of America, in Keegan's case, preparing your speech for the opening ceremony. There's a lot of things that people don't see that the captain does the week of the Ryder Cup, especially now that the Ryder Cup has become so big,' McIlroy said. 'If you'd have said it 20 years ago, I'd say, yeah, it was probably possible to do, but how big of a spectacle and everything that's on the line in a Ryder Cup now, I just think it would be a very difficult position to be in.' Advertisement McIlroy has not played since the Open Championship last month, including skipping the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs last week. It was a controversial move for some, which McIlroy seems to understand. 'You're trying to balance a lot of different things. You're trying to balance the competitive integrity of what the playoffs are, but you're also trying to keep the media rights partners happy, you're trying to keep the sponsors happy. They're the people that are paying the big bucks to expect the big names to be playing in their golf tournaments, and that's a delicate balance,' McIlroy said. McIlroy said that if the PGA Tour wants to resemble more of a traditional playoffs with real elimination stakes, he's a fan of an approach where 70 players make the playoffs and points are zeroed out so that only the top 50 in Week 1 make Week 2, and then the top 30 players make the Tour Championship.
