Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell to leave club amid Liverpool links
Ever since the announcement of Sporting Director Julian Ward wanting to depart Liverpool at the end of the current campaign, there has been a lot of speculation over his potential successor.
AS Monaco’s Paul Mitchell stands linked with Liverpool and amid these rumours, new reports claim that he could leave the Ligue 1 side soon. According to L’Equipe (h/t Liverpool Echo), the 41-year-old has declined an extension offer at Louis II Stadium and will depart the club in the summer.
Mitchell, who joined Monaco in 2020, has been a key figure in the club’s transfer dealings over the past few years, also overseeing a number of high-profile arrivals and departures.
His expertise and experience in the transfer market has caught the attention of Liverpool, who are reportedly considering him as a replacement for the outgoing Julian Ward. Mitchell’s impact at Monaco has been clear for all to see.
Mitchell to the Reds?
During his time at the club, he has helped them bring in several talented players, such as Benoit Badiashile from the academy and former Liverpool target Aurelien Tchouameni. Both players have made big money moves and have earned Monaco a lot of money.
With Mitchell’s experience and expertise in the transfer market, he could help Liverpool maintain their position at the top of English and European football when it comes to the business end of things in addition to managing transfers of players to and from the team.
Even though it will be hard for Liverpool to replace Ward, who has been at the club for just over a decade, Mitchell’s expertise and prior experience in the Premier League will surely be of great benefit to the Reds.
