Fabrizio Romano confirms Richard Hughes news


Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano confirmed Al-Hilal interest in Richard Hughes but maintained that the Scot is happy at Anfield as things stand: “According to reports in Saudi Arabia, and I can confirm that it’s true, that Richard Hughes is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia – especially Al-Hilal,” he said. “So Richard Hughes is now the clear favourite to become sporting director at Al-Hilal.

Because Richard Hughes remains absolutely and totally committed to Liverpool project and he’s very happy at the club.” “But the interest from Saudi is true and they are trying to find a solution for Hughes. Let’s see if they are going to be able to find away to appoint him, but I can confirm the admiration and the interest.” Al Hilal, currently second in the Saudi Pro League behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, have Hughes on a three-strong shortlist for their sporting director role.
