Dutch giants Ajax are reportedly keen on appointing Liverpool sporting director Julian Ward as their new technical director once he leaves Anfield in the summer.
It was reported back in November that Ward, who had previously been deputy to the Reds former transfer guru Michael Edwards before replacing him last summer, was set to stand down at the end of the campaign after spending just one season in the role.
Ward is believed to want to take a break from football after spending over a decade working at Liverpool in a wide variety of roles. However, that stance has not deterred Ajax from targeting the highly-rated executive as they seek a permanent successor to Marc Overmars, who left the club last February after admitting he had sent inappropriate messages to female colleagues.
