Liverpool are not actively seeking to replace departing sporting director Julian Ward.
Football Insider says Liverpool do not have a new director of football lined up after the surprise announcement of Ward's departure in the summer.
Ward's decision to end his 12-month role as the club's sporting director was announced in November, and it is understood that those inside the club were shocked and disappointed with the decision.
Links have since surfaced with former Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal recruitment chief Sven Mislintat - although no talks have taken place - but the decision has taken the club aback and the report states there is no succession plan in place.
