Richard Hughes faces a tough decision

Hughes arrived at Anfield just under two years ago and has played a crucial role in Liverpool’s recruitment since then, including hiring Slot.

The former Bournemouth man’s contract runs until 2027, but a move to Saudi Arabia has been touted on several occasions this season.

Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are the two clubs most heavily linked with the 46-year-old and a fresh report has revealed what could be on the table for Hughes should he make the move away from Europe.

Talking to Football Insider, former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson has revealed what Hughes could expect if he agrees a move to the Saudi Pro League.

“Well, financially of course they’ll pay him two to three times probably what he’s on,” Borson said. “And his tax will be a lot less if he stays there for the requisite amount.”

Borson also pointed out that the ongoing uncertainty and conflict in the region could pose a problem for Saudi clubs when trying to recruit from Europe but did also say that this isn’t necessarily a deal breaker.

Liverpool look set to continue their recruitment drive this summer, and Hughes would play a big role in continuing to build the next great team at Anfield, but the offer of greatly increased wages may be a prospect too good to turn down.

With plenty of uncertainty surrounding several key figures at the club, Liverpool have a lot of work to do both on and off the pitch heading into the final few weeks of the season.
