Strategists Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards are consistently looking towards the future, showing keen interest in acquiring a talented player who piqued their interest last summer.
This player is none other than Bilal El Khannouss, a promising talent who has remained on Liverpool’s radar and could soon see the club willing to invest significantly to bring him on board.
Liverpool has been diligently tracking the progress of this Moroccan international since he first made waves as a standout young player in Belgium’s leagues.
Having played at Anderlecht before moving to Genk, he has greatly benefited from Belgium’s renowned player development system prior to his transition to the Premier League.
While at Genk, Liverpool had shown considerable interest in El Khannouss, whose potential was evident, but they hesitated at the £21 million transfer fee.
At that time, club officials deemed investing that much in a player from the Jupiler Pro League too risky.
Consequently, El Khannouss ended up signing with Leicester City, who were more willing to take a chance on him.

Throughout his initial tenure at the club, Michael Edwards faced numerous challenges, particularly in one specific area of player recruitment.
The former sporting director aimed to penetrate the South American market, a realm where clubs like Manchester City and Brighton have thrived in recent years, successfully recruiting talents such as Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo, and Julian Alvarez.
Now, however, Edwards’ previous frustrations in attempting to delve into the South American market may soon be alleviated.
With complete control at Anfield, Liverpool has ramped up their efforts to strengthen their squad by tapping into this lucrative region.
The club’s pursuit of Franco Mastantuono serves as a testament to this shift. Reports indicate that Liverpool is prepared to make a record-breaking offer for the 17-year-old, aiming to outbid several top clubs in the process.

Aside from that miss, the Egyptian has been remarkably reliable from the penalty spot. This raises an intriguing question.

Younger players in the Liverpool academy are consistently stepping up to showcase their extraordinary talent, often surpassing age expectations.
However, the reality of football is that not every player will find success within the club, a harsh truth that often dictates the path of aspiring athletes.
A clear example is under-16 forward Cornelius Akaunu, who has recently gone on trial with Tottenham Hotspur. He made an impact by scoring for Liverpool in what appears to be his final match, a notable 4-0 victory over Fulham last Sunday.
The announcement of his impending departure was made via the @lfc.academy Instagram account, signaling a significant transition in his career.
