Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche is a 'candidate' to replace the outgoing Julian Ward at Liverpool, according to a new report.
Ward stepped into the void left by Michael Edwards after his departure from Anfield in the summer of 2022, but then shocked the club in November by announcing his intention to leave at the end of this season.
Liverpool are progressing with their search for a new sporting director. But as the ECHO recently reported, it is understood the club have no plans to appoint a replacement while Ward continues to operate in the job itself and work will go on inside the recruitment department under his watch. Sources at Liverpool have also distanced themselves with interest in Monaco chief Paul Mitchell.
