AS Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell has offered an insight into his transfer strategy amid speculation surrounding a switch to Liverpool.
The former Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig chief is set to leave the Ligue 1 side at the end of the summer transfer window, prompting speculation surrounding a switch to the hierarchy at Anfield. There will be another shift at the top for the Reds as Julian Ward will depart his position, just a year after replacing Michael Edwards. As a result, Jurgen Klopp will now welcome a new sporting director at the end of the season, a third in just two years.
Mitchell has spearheaded the transformation at the St Louis II Stadium as they now boast a state-of-the-art training facility with their on-field showings now beginning to reap rewards. His time in the sovereign-city state has already saw the big-money moves for Benoit Badiashile and Aurleien Tchouameni.
