Julian Ward has been credited for his influence in bringing Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool.
It is set to be one of the final acts of Julian Ward’s tenure as the club’s sporting director, with his stay at the club drawing to a close this summer.
Ward’s role in the Mac Allister transfer was described as “instrumental” by the Times‘ Paul Joyce, with his handover to replacement Jorg Schmadtke now said to be complete.
