Jorg Schmadtke's son could play unlikely role in Liverpool summer transfer plan

The son of Liverpool's newly-appointed sporting director Jorg Schmadtke is reportedly set for a similar role at Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach.

Earlier this week, the Reds announced the veteran German as their short-term successor to Julian Ward. The 41-year-old vacated the role at Anfield less than 12 months after replacing the long-serving Michael Edwards in order to spend more time with his young family.

After signing on the dotted line on Merseyside this week, Schmadtke, 59, started work at the club's AXA Training Centre on Thursday and will spend his summer months helping manager Jurgen Klopp's side plot a return to the Champions League by adding key additions to the Reds' ranks during the off-season.
