During his tenure, Liverpool spent a record £450 million (approximately €523 million) on transfers last summer. New arrivals at Anfield included Alexander Isak, who became the most expensive transfer in British football history, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike. In the most recent transfer window, the club invested an additional £250 million (approx. €291 million).

They secured French international Bradley Barcola, whose transfer could reach £123 million (approx. €143 million) including bonuses, defender Jeremy Jacquet, Spanish winger Victor Munoz, and goalkeeper Lucca Brughmanns, who will join the squad next season.

According to available information, Hughes decided to depart earlier this year. However, as Hughes had already made significant progress on summer transfers, particularly the acquisition of Barcola, he agreed with the management to stay until the end of the transfer window. This was reported by the DPA news agency.
