Liverpool have held talks with Monaco Sporting Director Paul Mitchell over potentially taking on the role with Liverpool.
Mitchell has built a reputation as one of the shrewdest operators in European football, having cut his teeth as head of recruitment with Southampton and then Tottenham. He then moved to RB Leipzig, before making the move to Monaco in June 2020.
It has been reported that the Englishman will leave his role at the Principality club at the end of the upcoming window, as he looks for a new challenge at the pinnacle of the European game. Mitchell has been heavily linked with a move to a top-four club in the recent past with Chelsea and Manchester United both touted as potential destinations.
