Liverpool could be set for a transfer spree in January after reportedly reaching an agreement to appoint Max Eberl as their new sporting director. The ex-RB Leipzig transfer chief is currently observing a period of gardening leave after he was sacked by the German club in September, with speculation strongly linking him with a job at Bayern Munich. But it is claimed Eberl is primed to leave his native Germany for a new challenge in the Premier League at Anfield…<\/p>\n

Sports Zone say Eberl has agreements ‘in place’ with Bayern and Liverpool. But the terms of his departure from Leipzig prohibit him from taking a job with the Bundesliga champions and if he is not allowed to move there, he will take the role to work alongside Jurgen Klopp instead.<\/p>\n

The Merseyside outfit employed Jorg Schmadtke as a short-term successor to Julian Ward following the Englishman’s exit, although the veteran German could step aside once Eberl’s move is finalised.<\/p>\n

His work during his 14-year association at Borussia Monchengladbach caught the eye before an unsuccessful nine-month stint at Leipzig, and with that, Express Sport looks at which players the 50-year-old could look to sign if he takes the sporting director position…<\/p>\n

Mohamed Simakan<\/h2>\n

Signed from Strasbourg in 2021, the right-back looks to be a future France international in the making after establishing himself as a regular with Leipzig. He was chased by Arsenal and Bayern Munich in the transfer window, but the club managed to ward off interest from Europe’s elite.<\/p>\n

Eberl made sure that Leipzig were protected with Simakan before his departure after negotiating a new long-term contract for the Frenchman, which now runs until 2027. But equally, he would have the inside track on the agreement – and would therefore know just how much the club would demand for the versatile defender.<\/p>\n

A towering defender blessed with impressive pace and composure on the ball, he could prove to be an excellent addition to Jurgen Klopp’s backline – and perhaps a long-term solution to fill in at right-back if Trent Alexander-Arnold moves into midfield.<\/p>\n
