Sven Mislintat is a candidate to takeover as Liverpool sporting Director in summer 2023, with Julian Ward already informing the club that he will vacate his post at the end of the season.
The former Borussia Dortmund chief scout is currently with fellow Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart as their sporting director, but reports from Sky's Florian Plettenberg suggest he is 'open' to the switch.
Mislintat rose to prominence working alongside Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at the Westfalenstadion from 2008 to 2015, during which time he masterminded several signings that went on to make a huge amount of money for the club.
