Jorg Schmadtke has been confirmed as Liverpool's new sporting director as he replaces the departing Julian Ward.
The 59-year-old takes up the important position at Anfield after gathering experience from similar roles during his time in the Bundesliga. Schmadtke will be tasked with overseeing the transfer operation on Merseyside as they look to build successfully during the summer.
Alexis Mac Allister, Mason Mount and Ryan Gravenberch are all among the players being considered for moves to L4 ahead of the upcoming campaign as the window opens next month. With four out-of-contract players leaving, change is afoot for the Reds. The German will oversee the operations alongside fellow countryman Jurgen Klopp from June 1.
