Michael Edwards’ impact behind the scenes at Liverpool has been well documented.

This is the man who convinced Jurgen Klopp to resist the temptation to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Julian Brandt, and instead get on board with a deal for Roma forward Mohamed Salah – look how that turned out!

The Reds sporting director has also managed to work his magic in getting huge fees for players Liverpool no longer want.

He managed to get Crystal Palace to part with nearly £60m when they put pen to paper on deals to sign Mamadou Sakho and Christian Benteke, whilst he also sold Dominic Solanke – a man signed on a free transfer – to Bournemouth for £19m.

Chelsea fans were giving it large at Anfield on Sunday. Watch their afternoon get slowly ruined in the video below…

The transfer window has only just opened for the summer, and Edwards is already looking well on course to cast his spells once again.

The Daily Mail have reported that Liverpool could obtain £100m by selling fringe players this summer, including the likes of Marko Grujic, Harry Wilson, Nathaniel Clyne and Simon Mignolet.

Interestingly, the Champions League finalists want £15m for Clyne, and £14m for Mignolet, whilst they would be open to £20m deals for both Wilson and Grujic should an offer arrive.

Youngsters Rafa Camacho, Ryan Kent, Taiwo Awoniyi, Sheyi Ojo and Ovie Ejaria have also been enquired about.

In total, all of the aforementioned players cost Liverpool just £27m: Grujic arrived for £5.1m, Clyne for £12.5m, Mignolet in a £9m deal, and Taiwo Awoniyi in a transfer worth £4o0,000. The rest are academy graduates.

Realistically, all of those players will probably be snapped up, and most certainly won’t be short of suitors given their talent.

Should Edwards successfully sell the aforementioned players, he will have turned £27m into almost £100m, and in doing so continued his fine form in obtaining the maximum fees for players no longer needed by Liverpool.
