Liverpool has $88m transfer encouragement as Markus Krösche sporting director credentials clear

The hunt for Liverpool’s next sporting director continues. After two retirements in two years, first by Michael Edwards and then by Julian Ward, the Reds need to find a long-term successor to stabilize the back line.

However, finding a smart sporting director is a tricky business these days and replacing smart guys like Edwards and Ward won’t be easy. Mainly to find someone who could work well under the FSG’s strict budgetary policies.

But it seems the Reds may be getting closer and closer to a solution.

The latest obvious candidate might just be an ideal fit for FSG and the way they like to work. According to The Athletic, Markus Krösche is one of the contenders to take over at Anfield.

The 42-year-old is relatively young and has only been working as a sports director in football for six years. But his track record of frugal spending is extremely promising when it comes to the FSG and Liverpool perspective.

Krösche initially started at SC Padeborn 07 and showed an excellent eye for talent right from the start. In his first season he brought 23-year-old Christopher Antwi-Adjei from the fifth tier of German football on a free transfer, who then made 146 appearances for the club, scoring 44 goals. He currently plays in the Bundesliga for VfL Bochum and has contributed eight goals in 16 games this season.
