Hence, he is reportedly willing to meet Edu’s demands and triple his salary on top of that. Moreover, Edu would allegedly be in charge of the entire Marinakis group, given that the Greek businessman currently owns the Portuguese side Rio Ave and Olympiakos in his homeland, in addition to the Premier League club.The Kiwi Sheriff and the Holy Spirit upset the PL orderMarinakis’ appetites might have increased lately, especially after Nottingham’s terrific start of the season and the third place they hold at the moment. Should all these allegations turn out to be accurate, Edu would have a similar role to Jurgen Klopp’s, who recently became Head of Global Football at Red Bull, in charge of advising all teams within their group – Leipzig, Salzburg, Leeds, Bragantino, New York, and Omiya Ardiya.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 10SaturdayNewcastle – Arsenal 1-0 (1-0)/Isak 12/Bournemouth – Manchester City 2-1 (1-0)/Semenyo 9, Evanilson 64 – Gvardiol /Ipswich – Leicester City 1-1 (0-0)/Davis 55 – Ayew 90+4/Liverpool – Brighton 2-1 (0-1)/Gakpo 69, Salah 72 – Kadioglu 14/Nott.
