AS Monaco are reportedly bracing themselves for the departure of sporting director Liverpool-linked Paul Mitchell, according to L'Equipe.
Julian Ward will leave a similar role on Merseyside, at the end of the season, just a year into the post after replacing Michael Edwards. Since taking over, he has brokered deals for Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and a new deal for Mohamed Salah.
Mitchell has been seemingly in-demand around Europe following his work with the Ligue 1 side, prior to the appointment of Christopher Vivell, the Englishman was set to be pursued by Chelsea following their hierarchical restructure under Todd Boehly.
