Liverpool hired a new sporting director at the start of the summer transfer window as they hired Jorg Schmadtke.
He was handpicked by Jurgen Klopp to join Liverpool and help with the transfer window activity after he had left Wolfsburg at the start of 2023.
Schmadtke made sure Liverpool rebuilt their midfield as key players Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Fabinho left but were quickly replaced.
The Reds signed four midfielders in the summer with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai joining the club early on.
Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch joined later on in the window but all four players have shown that they are capable of being key players for Klopp.
Schmadtke only agreed on a short-term deal but that may not be the case anymore.
Liverpool to sit down with Jorg Schmadtke in the next two months
According to German journalist Christian Falk Liverpool are going to sit down with Jorg Schmadtke in either February or March.
They will discuss his future at the club and may give the 59-year-old a contract extension to oversee another summer transfer window at the club.
He has the trust of Klopp and no one can really dispute the fact he has done a good job with all new signings playing a big role in Liverpool being top of the Premier League table.
Falk said: “As far as Liverpool are concerned, Jorg Schmadtke is the transfer expert and friend of Jurgen Klopp and supposed to conduct transfer business until the end of the transfer window.
“Schmadtke has a contract until the summer as sporting director but that ends at the end of June.
“That’s why, according to my information, they will perhaps sit down in March or February and discuss whether things should continue.
“The fact is, Klopp trusts Schmadtke and if they are definitely still together, they will see what they can get on the table and maybe strike another agreement again.”
Liverpool have been linked with several defenders for this January transfer window but we will have to wait and see if Schmadtke believes that is the right thing to do.
