Liverpool target Paul Mitchell has opened the door to joining the Anfield club when he leaves Monaco.

The current Sporting Director of the French club is tied down until the end of the upcoming summer transfer window.

However, Mitchell can then move around August or September, when he fulfills his duty to Monaco.

Initial talks are already underway between Mitchell and Liverpool.

On his future, he told Nice Matin: “Yes. It was a very difficult decision.

“I loved my experience at this club. I have always felt a lot of support from President Dmitry Rybolovlev and the Principality. But I have spent a lot of time away from home and my loved ones in recent years. I feel that the mission I had, which was to rebuild the sports project, has been fulfilled."

On his upcoming exit, he added: “I have to find my successor, accompany him in his first steps in Monaco and guide him until we consider with the president that it is time to step back. We want the transition to be as smooth and consistent as possible."
