After Liverpool beat Bournemouth in the League Cup, we’ve had plenty of reaction. There has also been a major update on Luis Diaz‘s father.
Bayern favourites for sporting director
With Jorg Schmadtke originally only meant to stay at Liverpool for three months, the club are on the lookout for longer-term options.
Max Eberl left his job as RB Leipzig’s director of sport in September and has since been linked to Bayern Munich as well as the Reds.
This Is Anfield understands that Bayern are favourites to recruit Eberl, with Anfield sources playing down the chances of him arriving on Merseyside.
Meanwhile, Schmadtke stays at Liverpool and was most recently spotted at Anfield as the Reds beat Nottingham Forest.
He’s now likely to stay in his role for the January transfer window at least.
