Former Arsenal transfer chief Sven Mislintat has reportedly expressed an interest in taking the soon-to-be-vacant sporting director post at Liverpool.
Current incumbent Julian Ward has confirmed he will leave Anfield at the end of the season after just one year in his role. Ward had been on Liverpool's staff for a number of years before taking on his new role when Michael Edwards stepped away from the club.
Mislintat worked with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Arsenal, and oversaw a number of signings - including what was at the time a club-record move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - before leaving in 2019. Now, after leaving Bundesliga club Stuttgart, the 50-year-old is said to have his sights set on a return to the Premier League.
