Liverpool have no plans to appoint outgoing Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell as Julian Ward's successor as they prepare to ramp up their revamp of the recruitment team.
Mitchell confirmed on Wednesday he will this summer leave his position with the Ligue 1 club after three years despite having a further 12 months to run on his contract.
The 41-year-old - who has previously held recruitment roles at MK Dons, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur - is believed to want a return to England, with a number of Premier League clubs having been linked with an interest, including Liverpool.
