According to the latest reports from Sky Sports, Liverpool is accelerating its search for a new sporting director, with three internal candidates currently being considered within the Fenway Sports Group.

Liverpool's search for a successor to sporting director Richard Hughes is reportedly well advanced, after Hughes informed Fenway Sports Group earlier this year that he was seeking new challenges. This follows the departure of Fenway Football's CEO, Michael Edwards.

Both parties agreed that he would remain in his current position until after the summer transfer window closed, an arrangement considered reasonable given his prior work in identifying key targets for the summer transfer market and his working relationship with the club's new manager, Andoni Iraola.

Liverpool's current goal is to arrange interviews as soon as possible. Following Edwards' departure, Fenway president Mike Gordon assumed greater responsibility for the club's day-to-day operations and led the recruitment process. The selected candidate will work within the football structure, and there is the possibility of promoting an internal candidate.

The list includes Fenway's technical director Julian Ward, Fenway's football development director Pedro Marques, and assistant sporting director David Woodfine. The advantage of these candidates is their existing familiarity with the club's operations. However, Fenway has not ruled out the possibility of hiring an external candidate.
