According to reporter Jacobs, the rumors that Edwards, CEO of the Football Division of Fenway Group, joined Riyadh Crescent.
Jacobs wrote: "The rumors about Edwards agreeing to join the Riyadh Crescent are completely irrelevant. Riyadh Crescent had actively contacted Edwards a few weeks ago and expressed a strong interest in him, but did not hold formal talks or make a offer. Instead, Edwards refused to contact each other. The only contact between Edwards and Riyadh Crescent was due to their interest in Nunez.
Edwards' closest connection in Saudi Arabia was actually Jeddah United. He has a good relationship with some of the club's board members and appreciates the way they operate. Edwards is currently overseeing Liverpool's summer transfer window as CEO of Fenway Group Football, supporting Richard Hughes. The owner of Fenway Group, including main boss John Henry, remains committed to the acquisition of a second club and has obtained several viable options for exploration, and Edwards plays a leading role in this work.
