Celtic chief Peter Lawwell is expected to move to Liverpool.
The Guardian says Liverpool are closing in on the appointment of a new chief executive, with Celtic's Lawwell a frontrunner for the post.
Spencer Stuart, the global executive recruitment company, is believed to be close to ending its three-month search for a replacement for Liverpool's former managing director, Christian Purslow, who left the club within days of FSG's takeover in October.
Lawwell was a leading candidate to become the Arsenal chief executive when Spencer Stuart conducted that process in 2008, before the job eventually went to Ivan Gazidis, and has been recommended to FSG.
