Jorg Schmadtke is reportedly close to being hired as Liverpool’s new sporting director, with the German set to oversee Jurgen Klopp’s summer rebuild
According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, despite the fact that terms have been agreed upon, the former VfL Wolfsburg official has yet to sign his contract with the Anfield club, despite the fact that Schmadtke’s wife has given her approval for the move to take place in the coming weeks.
Schmadtke, a close friend of Klopp’s, is expected to play a key role in Liverpool’s summer business, with the former Bundesliga transfer chief tasked with monitoring the German market and identifying targets from the country who may be of interest to the Reds.

Most Liverpool fans understand the importance of the club’s transfer window, and with Klopp now securing the services of a sporting director he trusts in Schmadtke, the pair could lay the groundwork for the Merseyside giants to thrive again in the Premier League and Europe.
